The "before" group photo. Notice the large number of folks wearing pants on the first day. They have yet to realize it's warm in Jamaica (or maybe they haven't unpacked yet).

All students and instructors in Stony Brook's Tropical Marine Ecology course have arrived in Jamaica safe and sound.  We just wrapped up our introductory lecture (at 930pm), breakfast tomorrow is at 730am so everyone is headed off to bed.

We'll have several blog posts each day written by the students (with pictures) so check back in with us to find out what everybody is doing down here.

It's ~ 82 F and pretty humid here (at 10pm) which is a nice change from the freezing cold of Long Island when we left this morning.
