It’s our third full day at ITEC and people have started working on their projects! There are people working with spiders after learning about them yesterday (they’re scary but very cool), and people working with frogs and trying to catch them in the rainforest. There are also people working with sea urchins in the coral reef and another group is looking at the biodiversity in the different areas around the field station. We spent the morning starting e
ach of our projects and in the afternoon we went snorkeling again! The water was much clearer and warmer, and we got to see a lot of cool coral and fish. We also had some good food, including fish fingers and meatballs with beans and rice (and salad of course).
