Squid dissection ... revealing the internal beak and pen are my two favorite parts!

| Spotted Sea Hare |
Spotted Sea hare we found while snorkeling, brought him to the surface to show to students before we let it go. They release an ink that appears purple as a defense mechanism.

| Manatee |
Manatee in the harbor! Manatees are an endangered species that can often be spotted in harbors in search for fresh water, but unfortunately because they are hard to spot many manatees get injured by boats propellers.
About to go collect some echinoderms and algae on one of the Oceanographic Research Vessels
