Fun in the Sun Day 1

Lionfish in the invasive species lab

Sea urchin tests found in the bay [and a starfish]

Today we had a lecture from UWI (University of the West Indies) faculty about lionfish being an invasive species in Jamaica. They told us how they try to reduce the number of lionfish by educating people on how you can actually eat them and not to be afraid to catch them. We had another lecture from Brad after that and we saw some pictures of sea urchins which I saw with Nick and John when we went snorkeling. We got some of the tests in the bay when snorkeling. Tiffany got one too during the night dive. Hopefully these don’t break in our bags so we can bring them home as souvenirs.
