Training Day

Sunday, February 22, 2009

Today was our first full day of training. We practiced snorkeling and identifying many hard and soft corals, algae, and fish. This was important training for tomorrow’s data collection activities. The Bahamian Reef Survey project is one of the longest running coral reef research projects in the world. The scientists overseeing this project have been collecting data for over 15 years. Why is the research and data collected in San Salvador so important to the scientific community?
