The Florida M-term trip is ready to take-off! We spent the day orienting ourselves for the trip. Each student placed their wet-suit and snorkel equipment orders, and received their reading packets for the trip. After taking care of business we settled down to the day's work: learning about the origins of the Keys, locating our destination on a map and searching out Big Cypress Swamp. As well students read two articles about the toxic role plastics are playing in the marine environment - an issue we will explore more deeply once at Newfound Harbor Institute.
Tonight's activities for the students include final packing and completing their first readings entitled Ancient Origins of the Keys and Recent History.
We look forward to blogging about our adventures once we arrive in the Keys!
