MY ANIMOTO

Beautiful… Tranquil…Divine… Those are just a few of the words that could describe this place. They say a “picture is worth a thousand words…” well no one could take enough photos to describe the beauty of Andros.…

this fish is crazy!!! it reminds of a fish that they talked about at the Monterrey Bay Aquarium, the Humpback Anglerfish, just because of it's strange appearance. check it out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humpback_anglerfish heres the most interesti…

Cheap Bottles of Mateus
Out of all the chapters in this book, this chapter started out with the most true and breathtakingly realistic quote. "For all at last return to the sea- Oceanus, the ocean river, like the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end." -Rachel Carson. I'm not one to believe in evolution ( I do believe evolution in terms of… Continue

REEF GO BOOM; Death by Dynomite in Indonesia...
I know, the title sounds immature, I thought the same thing after I typed it... Yet, it has a feel to it. The people in Indonesia are "ignorant". Most of the fisherman don't know the harm they are doing to the reef. They are slowly killing it off, yet one can ask, Are they allowed too? The poor fishing communities heavily rely on the Fishing Industry, and when they are make very little hauling in large boats, they have to do what they need to… Continue

Depression in the Thousand Islands: Jakarta Bay
Wow... Thanks A Lot Osha! You've written so many nice and interesting chapters into this book, and then throw this depressing one in. Just Kidding... I'm actually glad this chapter was so much in detail and contained many facts that EVERYONE needs to know about. Nash always talked about how the reefs have changed near Andros since he started going there, and how a lot of the coral is dying. Well, hate to break it to you all (actually, Osha kinda already did), people are killing the reefs.
Osha… Continue

Serendipity in the Reefs, and Fishy Stories
Chapter 7, to me, was very informative. It made me think of what any person could do, with no boundaries, such as age or experience. What if we go down to the Bahamas and discover something new, serendipity to our main cause. It would be amazing to be written about in a magazine or a newspaper; the marine biology group from Smalltown, MO, smack in the middle of the continent, discover something on a yearly trip that experienced scientists and divers have just overlooked. It’s a stretch, but I sa… Continue

EXCELLENT POINT.
however, i have thought abut this much, and i actually have a plan.
i just haven't shared this one as of yet.
because i want this site to be not only a fun communication tool and network...
i also want it to be a place that is dripping with solid intellectual discourse.
therefore- i want us to really sculpt the site into that very thing prior to
bringing in any of the alumni. i want them to be impressed with the work you have done up to that point.
this way- when they choose to contribute on the site... they will have a lot to live up to!
it is all about building excellence from the ground up. we WILL invite our alumni in. in fact, i can't
WAIT. however, we will do it with a bit of a plan. i am thinking about halfway through our Enchanted Braid
project we will have enough work to show for what we have been doing to open it up to a wider audience.
make sense?
i appreciate your message very much. keep 'em coming!
;-)

Last Monday's class cleared up how the atolls sank, the coral is not the major cause of their sinking, it is the weight of the magma that comes out of the volcano. I was confused about how the coral weighed this much, but this cleared it up for me.
One thing that really was cleared up for me last class was the fact that reefs don't cause islands to sink. It is caused by the magma moving underneath the surface of the plate. I also thought it was cool that there are more islands to Hawaii than w…
URRRRRRRGGG. Why is the hyperlink NOT working?
Awesome video. But that music drives me INSANE. I can't take it. :X Were pretty much on the same page. I had know idea the process it took to make an atoll. 300,000,000 years seems like a looooooooong time for something to form. But when you see pic…
OK, so I get the feeling EVERYONE wants to visit one. So... why don't we just all go there?
Awesome video. I forgot all about that.
;)
And yes... atolls are "rare" in terms of the total surface area of the Earth in which they cover. However, in some areas (the South pacific) they are certainly relatively more common. I too concur- I have…
Well... yes and no. A "barrier reef" certainly IS a stage of reef/atoll formation. However, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, as well as the Florida Keys/Bahamas are a different sort of "barrier reef" in many ways. You are all doing a good job of…
Yep- that's another one we will examine in tonight's session.
North End peeps will always make the connection to the "Krug Park Lagoon"... which... is obviously a different sort of thing. ;)
The type of reef we will study in the Keys is a unique type... this will come up in tonight's session!
You just claimed Spongebob to be an educational tool? You have now climbed the ladder of awesomeness (in my mind) to an all-new level!
While there are a lot of good things about the reefs to talk about and analyze in a much greater depth, I will only talk about those in a few short sentences. In truth, most of this stuff we learned about with the reefs themselves, I learned when we…
Absolutely amazing!
Hmm...I also had heard of the Great Barrier Reef, but I never knew it was a stage of formation. I think I thought it was actually just part of the name...
I'm afraid I disagree, Carsen. Spongebob is a great educational tool. (Here's the Goo Lagoon for future reference...) I definitely learned that sponges were living creatures. =D
But I also didn't know what an atoll was. Or where a lagoon was locate…
Last weeks discussion was also amazing for me. I learned so much and was totally interested. I definitely agree that bombing Enewetok was a terrible idea!
The story about the seashell is crazy! Thank you for sharing it with us. It helped me to under…
I totally had the wrong idea about lagoons as well! Whenever I hear the word “lagoon” I always think of a nasty creature crawling out of a green swampy area. Haha. I had also never heard of an atoll as well until this class. I had always thought tha…
First of all, I searched for an animation of the coral formation process and found this site. Not only does it clearly explain the formation, it also reveals a fascinating fact: "The process of atoll formation may take as long as 30,000,000 years to…
