important ecological environments. We saw all types of juvenile fish, including a barracuda less
than 3 inches long. We also saw oysters, sponges, crabs and spaghetti worms with long white
sticky tentacles that give this weird worm it name.
Afterwards we snorkeled Blue Harbor and collected organisms to examine before we released them.
Along with sea stars, urchins, crabs, shrimp and other interesting life forms, we found an inch long
green moray eel in the algae mats we examined.
Some of the group went on an afternoon dive, while others went for a horseback ride. The day ended
with a night dive that featured lobsters, squid, and plenty of sleeping parrotfish.
