Today we have arrived in beautiful Angra, a small fishing village in the state of Rio de Janeiro. We are joined by Bruno, Oliver & Sophia, scientists from Santa Ursula University in Rio. They will spend the next three days with us, helping to inspire our young biologists. Today they assisted Dr. Scott in giving an introductory lesson on snorkeling, water safety and plankton sampling in preparation for a big day tomorrow of navegation and experimentation. As you can see, the weather is lovely and the students are literally diving right in. Today they collected sea cucumbers, crabs and even a Puffer fish (yes, puffer fishes are cute). All organisms were inspected closely and then returned to the sea, no worries. All in all, it was a great day and tomorrow promises to be even better.
