Today we took a field trip to the mud flats of Nahant for some invertebrate hunting! The flats are full of worms and clams, and seeing as we just took an exam on Annelids/Arthropods and are starting Molluscs, this trip was quite appropriate. And also gave us an excuse to play in mud.The Three Seas Program, based at Northeastern University, offers undergraduate and graduate students in marine biology the opportunity to study, conduct research, and get wet in three different marine ecosystems: the northwest Atlantic Ocean (Nahant, Massachusetts), the Caribbean Sea (Bocas del Toro, Panama), and the northeastern Pacific (Friday Harbor, Washington).

Polychaetes, sipunculans and clams, oh my!
