@hakuna_maHana DO ITTTT

Happy #InternationalWomenInScienceDay to some great scientific diving and marine scientist ladies in #3Cs37! @NuMarSci @iris_seto @Jessica_Roth88 @HarrisonSimi

@Losaviom 😘

One second a day for OCP! Lots of fun and diving :)

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

@kelldooling Wow what kind of sponge is that?

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Scientific diving requires good control of #bouyancy! My skills were especially tested while trying to build the #plankton trap for our OCP lab. It was a struggle but I can tell I’m improving!

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Everything was A-OK in setting up the #plankton traps over a C. natans! We wanted to see how much phytoplankton rise up during the night over either sand, #coral, or rubble.

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Day two of the lab! Now we are counting the zooplankton from the traps we set over either coral, sand, or rubble. My group is looking at the coral samples!

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Live tweeting our Reef Zooplankton Lab! Starting off with our TAs getting our zooplankton samples ready for microscope viewing!

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Here is @kelldooling and I doing a plankton tow at 35ft for the lab!

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

@theChachonator Wow! What kind of algae is the sailor’s eye?

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

#tbt to diving in the beautiful #kelp forests of #CapeTown, to collect nudibranch population data! Kelp forests provide habitat and food for thousands of fish, invertebrates, and marine mammal species!

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Here, @kelldooling is using flourescent dye to look at the boundary layer over my head for our second OCP lab on #turbulence #3Cs37

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Using ImageJ to analyze our time-lapse photos for our first lab in our Ocean and Coastal Processes class! By measuring the change in area of a cleared patch of coral, we can then find the clearance rate of sediment. #3Cs37

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Coral reefs support a wide variety of #diversity! Here we can see Millepora complanata, Porites astreoides, Halimeda opuntia, a Spotlight Parrotfish, and more! With an increase in #bleaching events, it is vital we reduce our environmental impact! @MaggieDJohnson #3Cs37

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Today we conducted Line Point Intercept (LPI) #benthic #surveys at Site A! Tomorrow we get to switch survey methods and use a quadrat! @NU_ThreeSeas @MaggieDJohnson #3Cs37

[Iris Seto @iris_seto]

Snorkeling in our first Coral Reef Ecology class to explore the mangroves and #seagrass beds around STRI! Look at all the different organisms using the #mangrove roots! @NU_ThreeSeas #3Cs37 @MaggieDJohnson
