The Sweet but Bitter Bahamas Trip, Sorta like Butterscotch

The First Days



So far the trip started off alright. We had a few plane rides to get here, one to North Caroling Carolina and one to Florida. We stayed in La Quinta Inn in Florida and boarded another small private plane to get to Andros Island. Since the little journey to get where I am now, I’ve made a few friends. Shelby was one of the first new friends I made, and we rode on the first flight together to North Caroling Carolina. For both of us it was our first time… Continue

The Destruction of Jakarta Bay

In chapter ten, Osha speaks of a trip to Nyamuk Besar to see the supposedly "Delicate tints of the coral structures, the brilliant colours of fishes, clams, sea anemones, worms, crabs, star fishes and the whole rest of reef animals..." At first Osha's journey starts off to a rocky start because he cannot find transportation the the island. Unsure that the island is even there, he does not want to spend a lot of money to go observe and be dissapointed if it is submerged in the water. Finally he… Continue

Chapters 5+6

I found it a little difficult to blog over these two chapter for they speak more of Osha's experiences and information on coral reefs. Besides that point, in chapter 5 a man compares coral reefs to that of a city in present time. I like how the thought was conveyed to make us inexperienced divers realize that reefs are similar to cities, in a way. Osha begins speaking of his experiences diving at Tanjung Pisok and explains how chaotic it is due to fish swimming in and out of holes that cannot… Continue

The Hidden Secrets of Coral

At the beginning of chapter four Osha starts by spilling out information on a dam over flow that caused sediment to move revealing an old coral reef from the "Devonian" period. I can just imagine what it would look like although probably covered in random sorts of mud and materials, it would still be an amazing sight to see. The chapter then leads on into a corals life and what they carry with them, such as other organisms that live inside the coral. He uses unmbrellas to break down the classes… Continue

Darwin's Journey for Coral Life

This chapter begins explaining Darwin's journey on finding and studying coral reefs. In Darwin's childhood he had always dreamed of studying biology, later in his life he decided to persue an interest in marine zoology. He then traveled on a ship, the HMS Beagle, and circumnavigated the globe stopping at different points to collect and preserve specimens such as birds, rocks, and fish. During his journey he looks at reefs like stages of life, and compares it with the life of a human. This… Continue

A New Experience

I woke up early and went to meet everyone at the library. Once we got our passports and tickets we all headed to the airport. We took a flight to Ft. Lauderdale.  Once there we all we out to eat and I had a Mahi-Mahi sandwich and tried some oyster, steamed clam, and calamari.  I think out of those 3 I will only have the calamari again.  Then we got our rooms and got the information for the plane trip to Andros.  We had the rest of the night to ourselves and I went swimming and hung out in some…See More

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

Aye, 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

The 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

Under 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

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

Researchers search for best feed for the 'king' of the rivers

The red mahseer is highly sought after by anglers and high end restaurants. Breeding them may be a bit easier now that researchers in Malaysia have found the best feed combination.

Vast methane-based ecosystem uncovered

A marine research expedition has led to the discovery of perhaps the world's largest methane cold seep. The seep lies deep in the western North Atlantic Ocean, far from the life-sustaining energy of the sun. Mussels blanketing the the seep rely on bacteria that use the methane to make energy. The process, known as chemosynthesis, forms the basis for life in the harsh environment and could help scientists better understand how organisms can survive under these types of extreme conditions.

Study reveals how fishing gear can cause slow death of whales

Using a "patient monitoring" device attached to a whale entangled in fishing gear, scientists showed for the first time how fishing lines changed a whale's diving and swimming behavior. The monitoring revealed how fishing gear hinders whales' ability to eat and migrate, depletes their energy as they drag gear for months or years, and can result in a slow death.

Abundance and distribution of Hawaiian coral species predicted by model

Researchers have developed species distribution models of the six dominant Hawaiian coral species around the main Hawaiian Islands, including two species currently under consideration as threatened or endangered.

Why we need to put the fish back into fisheries

Overfishing has reduced fish populations and biodiversity across much of the world’s oceans. In response, fisheries are increasingly reliant on a handful of highly valuable shellfish. However, new research shows this approach to be extremely risky.
