Brittany Bremer replied to Sean Nash's discussion Who Has Known The Ocean? - The Enchanted Braid"Yes, you should always continue to learn. Being in college has taught me a lot about how you do more learning outside the classroom than in. I'm a studying Wildlife Conservation and Management with a minor in Speech Communications. I have…"
Brittany Bremer replied to Sean Nash's discussion A Perspective on The Sea"I like how you thought about how the blue dot represented reefs. Showing that yes, the ocean is extremely valuable but, also the what is in the ocean especially the reef system. This got me thinking about the alge in the water and the photosynthetic…"
Brittany Bremer replied to Sean Nash's discussion A Perspective on The Sea"I hadn't originally thought of water or the ocean like that. After you said this I was reminded of a lecture I attened for my ecology class about the Ganda River. How the Indian government had tried to purify the Ganda River as many…"
Brittany Bremer replied to Sean Nash's discussion A Perspective on The Sea"This picture is showing how important to life water is. The color of the globe is brown and green showing how much color/life water bring to the world. Not only does it add a color of blue but, also species richness or diversity in plants and…"
Brittany Bremer replied to Sean Nash's discussion Who Has Known The Ocean? - The Enchanted Braid"After reading the first page I was reminded of seeing a special on TV a few months back about Census of Marine Life. As I continued on in the first chapter I noticed that I started making comparisons to a book I had to read for my Intro to…"

Loving the Bahamas!
I have known that I wanted to this program for a long time now. My brother did it back in 2003. I saw how much fun he was having learning the fish and then going out on the sail boats and seeing them in person. I saw what he brought back from the trip and it all sounded like so much fun i just had to try and go. So here I am! I took the class and went on the trip.Day 1 I couldn't sleep, I had to be up at 4:30 in the morning so we could meet at the library and and be at the air port around 6:20…See More
Time of my life!
Plane ride to Andros My group got here 2nd and right once we got to Forefar we ate lunch and then got in the water. I was ready to get right in and I saw so many fish. Shelby Mills and I went snorkeling together. The first fish we saw was a Beaugregory Juvenile. Then we saw a sea slug. It had orange and blue stripes going down its back. Then we also saw an adult Beaugregory. The next fish was a cocoa Damselfish. This fish has a blue color on top ends and a dark spot on the upper…See More
MacKinzie Lillian Conard posted a blog postAye, Mon! (a.k.a. My Bahamian Experience/Greatest Week of 2013)
Where do I even begin? Or better rephrased, how do I start telling the tale of the most intriguing adventure I've ever gone on in my short 17 years of life? The most obvious answer would be to start with Day 1, which is only logical, but once you've started reading my account, I think you'll understand why I didn't know where to begin. Day 1- Friday, March 21st, Saint Joseph to Ft. Lauderdale Boy, I definitely wished I was a morning person that day. We met at a parking lot at East Hill's mall…See More
Shelby Glenn posted a blog postThe Bahamian Experience
Everything about the Bahamas was pretty much perfect. The weather, the people, the lifestyle, the water, the air, the night sky, and the people. Did I say people twice? Heck yes I did because the people truly were some of the coolest people ever.They were some of the most down to earth and friendly people I have ever met. There was even a statue of a pair of hands shaking to really reinforce the fact that they were very friendly people.The first day that we spent on the island I played some…See More
Shelby Mills posted a discussionUnder the Sun-2013
Saturday, March 23rd, 2013Yesterday we arrived at Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to begin our adventure miles from home. Around 12:30 PM, 7 of us loaded a small plane with a pilot named Eddie (I got to be co-pilot!) and we set flight over the ocean. The ocean is simply breathtaking and magnificent. Looking the 5,000 feet down to the shades of blue wasn't full of much to look at but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I was looking for something to strike my eye, to jump out of the water...SOMETHING!…See More
Rylee Hanlan replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Outer Strands"Although this chapter wasn't my favorite that I've read so far, I did learn some new and interesting things.. Like what Christmas tree worms are! And just how important sea grass is to the ocean. The reflection strategy that I used for…"
Jaycen LeeAnn Wilson replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Outer Strands"I made my key note about how everything is part of one. It's kind of like the lion king to me. Everything has to do with something. Or it's some disney movie like that. I loved this chapter, I think it was my favorite so far. I love how he…"
MacKinzie Lillian Conard replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Outer Strands"This book never fails to amaze me! I have always thought of a coral reef as being its own "island" because it is so diverse and strong by itself. However, Davidson very quickly points out that coral reefs are a small strand in a large…"
Rylee Hanlan replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Outer Strands"I thought the same thing when I was reading, and came across the term " Christmas tree worms" I google imaged it and thought they were pretty neat as well!"
Shelby Mills replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Outer Strands"Yet again, the seas continue to amaze me in their ability to support each other even when they get no appreciation. One thing in particular that I thought was simply spectacular about this chapter were the Thalassia and their development of mature…"
"Everything you write about in these discussion's are so creative and I really enjoy reading them. They are usually the first thing I read because it opens my mind about what I want to base mine off of. Great job! Also your Sci-poe last time was…"
"Okay, mine might seem boring because it is only talking about one thing. The Thalassia Testudinum a sea grass, but i found this story or part of this chapter really interesting. I thought it was beautiful how the 'parent' "bathes the…"
McCabe Davis replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Rise of Corals & The Heart of Lightness"I think Shelby did a great job on his sypo. It explains how important the tropics are and how much the sun affects the life of diversity there."
McCabe Davis replied to Sean Nash's discussion The Outer Strands"Mangroves, sea grass, and coral reefs. I never would have thought that these things would be interconnected so deeply. A braid within a braid. This chapter talks about how these three components are all connected and what roles they play.

Social thoughts from an ecologist
In the past, I would have categorized myself pretty much as a hard-core-Darwin-loving-Greenpeace ecologist...let's save the environment by creating marine reserves, no-take zones, and sanctuaries. We'll limit fishing in most areas and give the living marine resources a chance to recover even if it takes decades. Why can't people see what they are doing to the environment and do something to stop it? A lot of my views have gotten a rude awakening recently...I think it's hard for many of us to…See More

New era of fisheries policy needed to secure nutrition for millions
A new study argues that for fisheries policies to be effective they must take in to account not just fish stock conservation and environmental issues, but also research data on the patterns and dynamics of fish trade, markets and user consumption.Coral reef fishes prove invaluable in the study of evolutionary ecology
Coral reef fish species have proven invaluable for experimental testing of key concepts in social evolution and already have yielded insights about the ultimate reasons for female reproductive suppression, group living, and bidirectional sex change.Paleontology: The eloquence of otoliths seen in a 23-million-year-old fish fossil
Fish fossils that are about 23 million years old give unprecedented insight into the evolutionary history of the gobioid order, one of the most species-rich groups among the modern bony fishes.Actor Johnny Depp immortalized in name of fossilized creature with 'scissor hand' claws
A scientist has discovered an ancient extinct creature with 'scissor hand-like' claws in fossil records and has named it in honor of his favourite movie star. The 505-million-year-old fossil called Kooteninchela deppi, which is a distant ancestor of lobsters and scorpions, was named after the actor Johnny Depp for his starring role as Edward Scissorhands -- a movie about an artificial man named Edward, an unfinished creation, who has scissors for hands.H1N1 discovered in marine mammals
