The first day of class we take the students to a manmade inlet where there are sunken boats. It is a long swim, but it gives the students a chance to become familiar with their gear. #marinefieldecology #vagelli #rutgers

Students found a crab trap during the long swim on the first day! 🦀

After the light traps were set on our first night snorkel, the class found an octopus! 🐙🌊🌙 #marinefieldecology #vagelli #rutgers

Lea admiring the nurse shark she found! #nursesharks #vagelli #marinefieldecology #rutgers

On the first day of class, one of our students found a small juvenile nurse shark as soon as they got in the water! Our students collected a blood sample, checked the sex, took measurements, tagged, and then released this beauty! #nursesharks #vagelli #marinefieldecology #rutgers
