We LOVE Inverts!


As the semester winds down to a crazy stressful end, projects and exams are among us. Today, everyone presented their favorite invertebrate to the class and discussed how climate change, ocean acidification, deep sea drilling, over fishing, and many other detrimental factors will affect their beloved creature. Hannah spoke of the "classy" deep sea giant isopod. Sean taught us how to train our blue dragons to survive climate change. Lindsey spoke about the delicious american lobster, and Trevor awed us with the indestructible water bear. I did my presentation on the blooming Pacific sea nettles that are seemingly taking over the West Coast of the US and Japan. The presentations were fun to watch and showed how much we have learned about and grown to love these fantastic creature's in Luke's class. Presentation week is not over yet! Tomorrow we have Ecology presentations and on Friday we present our Botany experiments. Did I mention that next week is finals? Are Three Seas Students stressed? Yes. Are we loving every minute of it? Of course!
