Exploring Marine Ecosystems

BELIZE--
Professor Laurie Furlong led us on a week-long excursion around a tropical island for our Marine Ecology course. Glover's Atoll, a small island in the Caribbean, is a great place to both showcase God's beautiful creation, and teach us about how interconnected our world is; no matter how far apart they are, oceans, farm lands, and cities all end up affecting each other.

With a week full of snorkeling, observing and researching, we all came to love the salt and gain a deeper appreciation for God's waters and all their inhabitants - small, large, and funky looking.



This critter did an excellent job of disguising itself as part of our algae samples
