Last night's snorkel-the bioluminescence was way cool. I waved my hand around in the water and little sparkles seemed to follow my hand. It was like little stars in the water. Do you know what it is? Here is a definition from NOAA-<br />
<br />

<div style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "Source Sans Pro", sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 15px;">
The light emitted by a bioluminescent organism is produced by energy released from chemical reactions occurring inside (or ejected by) the organism.</div>

If you’ve ever seen a firefly, you have encountered a bioluminescent organism. In the ocean, bioluminescence is not as rare as you might think. In fact, most types of animals, from bacteria to sharks, include some bioluminescent members.</div>

Day 6 and we're getting the hang of the plankton tows, got us some specimens then headed out for another kayak to count marine mammals. We saw four sea lions out by the green buoy. It was a good workout, a beautiful sunny day with a brisk breeze.<br />

After lunch, we went back to the lab to look for the plankton that cause the harmful alga blooms. No one had much luck today seeing the little creatures. That's the way of science, sometimes you have good results and other times no; but no data is data! as I overheard one marine scientist saying.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is our last day here. We will be driving into the interior of the island. I'm hoping to see some of the island bison, (although I might feel guilty as I'm having a buffalo burger for lunch!) I've been assured however, that the buffalo I will be eating is not from the island. The bison here are protected. (thank goodness).<br />
<br />
It's been great here. I learned a lot about how scientists conduct research. There is a lot of meticulous work involved. Every time you collect and examine data, the protocol has to remain the same, you need to be careful to keep it the same so that the results can be replicated. Your eyes get quite a workout looking through the microscopes for hours at a time, but you get better at it.<br />
<br />
The world is fascinating. There is so much to find out. I challenge each and every one of you to go out into the world and learn as much as you can about how it all works.<br />
Here's to science!<br />

I can't believe it's day 5 here! We've been busy. Today we again collected a plankton sample in the morning, then went kayaking, hoping to see some marine mammals, only saw one sea lion, but did see quite a bit of birds, pelicans, cormorants, a loon!, and a bald eagle. Neat!<br />
It was quite a haul in the water, sure felt it in my arms on the way back. I was in a single ocean kayak, pretty maneuverable in the waters.<br />
In the afternoon, we went back in the lab to look for more plankton under the microscope. I saw some organisms that I haven't seen yet, such as an arrow worm and a segmented worm larva.<br />
Tonight is the night snorkel, let's see who does it!<br />

Good afternoon folks! Here's all the 7mm wet suits for snorkeling. They are very THICK! Which is good, as the water is 19 degrees Celsius. So after we all struggled into the suits, out we went to the dock to jump in. The clarity of the water is awesome. We saw California's state fish, the Garibaldi, also saw some huge Kelp Bass, Media lunas, Blacksmith's and Stingrays! Very cool.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMweN3IBll-NKhEEO8lfrGxgumDdql5G8epZ4k8hMLkik01C9nGe5n9_1QMWw0JNCpnM8v3tKd4FikAmW5kuWQn3y1Q_QcAjtFxAHvlrJhV_Fnj5aozDaH9nqO2AkEsLMvkmDJiNTOabld/s1600/20171106_133602.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMweN3IBll-NKhEEO8lfrGxgumDdql5G8epZ4k8hMLkik01C9nGe5n9_1QMWw0JNCpnM8v3tKd4FikAmW5kuWQn3y1Q_QcAjtFxAHvlrJhV_Fnj5aozDaH9nqO2AkEsLMvkmDJiNTOabld/s320/20171106_133602.jpg" width="320" /></a><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyhFWcNuNfifdKCojgrrZT5bhSbiBJjjh5HBsDiz5le9LJQFq6uVPkjmZukjk78ernx9qJq-UcOtECvwy7w6A' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>

Happy Monday everyone! I've been at work all weekend while you guys were relaxing! I now know how to identify those little plankton, (well, at lest some of them). Going up to the dining hall, I was hoping to see some of the little native island foxes, still didn't see one.<br />

We have all three types of rock right here in Fisherman's Cove-that white sedimentary rock we were using in our river models-yes, you guessed it , diatomite, where the diatomaceous earth comes from. All those little diatom skeletons which fell on the seafloor, got buried, put under tremendous pressure and came up here on Catalina Island as the Pacific plate subducted under the North American Plate. We also have blue schist, a metamorphic rock and basalt, an igneous rock, all right here in the cove</td></tr>

Greetings everyone! Good day to another beautiful day on Catalina Island. Daylight savings so slept an extra hour, missed the sunrise this morning. It rained during the night, so the day was fresh and clean. Took a quick walk before breakfast, here's our cute houses we're staying in and there's the cafeteria, sure eating a lot here! Then on down to the dock to get some seawater samples, documenting the temperature, salinity and pH of the water. Up to the lab to look for some specific plankton critters, mainly we're looking for the ones that when in abundance cause the harmful alga blooms. I didn't see any of those but did see my favorite zooplankton dudes, the Calanoid Copepods, they zipped around on my petri dish and I tried to follow them with my microscope. Quite a skill to focus the microscope and find all the different plankton, especially the smaller transparent plankton; saw lot's of diatom chains. So hey, guys, if you don't know what a diatom chain is, look it up, there's your challenge. Later in the day, we went to the other side of the isthmus we were on, (quick, remember the land forms? Isthmus?), and did a MPA walk. What's a MPA? A marine protected area and we were assessing the impact of human activity, so that means we looked for human activity and it's impact on nature. We counted boats, any people we saw, anything that might impact the ecosystem. Finally, we ended the day by checking out Two Harbors, the tiny town here that has a one room schoolhouse! Can you imagine going there? The biggest class they ever had was 10 students, all in one room with one teacher, all the ages together.</div>
Hope everyone had a great weekend, I hope to video conference with you tomorrow.<br />

It’s been a busy day! Got up at the crack of dawn, went down to the marina and witnessed a beautiful sunrise. Jumped on Miss Chistie, our boat, and enjoyed an hour and a half ride in calm seas. Catalina Island is beautiful, the light and clouds made for a spectacular day. We got a tour of the facilities and then headed out to the intertidal zone to monitor and count intertidal organisms. Or more specifically, we were looking for sea stars and abalone. Sea stars in recent years have been struck with wasting disease and abalones with withering foot disease because of warming oceans, so scientists are counting them to see how they’re doing. Unfortunately, we didn’t see any. However, we were also counting other organisms, and did find acorn barnacles, chitons, and some shore crabs.<br />

Sitting here in the airport in San Jose, got an hour to kill. Just remembering that I needed to get my field trip permission slips out to you students today! Oh no! The Monday I come back, we’re going to the quarry to learn about rocks and fault zones. We will be standing right in the San Andreas fault zone. Thank goodness,Ms. West will take care of it! Continue to check into my blog to learn some cool marine science. I’ll be on Catalina Island tomorrow.<br />
Looking forward to learning about how global warming affects oceans. </div>

Hello to all! The countdown is on, twelve more days until I leave for my Earthwatch trip to Catalina Island, where I will help collect data for the scientists working on the island monitoring the ocean's health. I will help scientists record the number of marine mammals such as California sea lions, gray whales, and common dolphins; collect water samples; survey the inhabitants of the intertidal zone; and observe the ways in which humans use this pristine habitat. A goal is to contribute to Pacific coast datasets and help to conserve a valuable marine ecosystem.<br />
<br />
I will fly out from San Jose after teaching on November 2 to Long Beach and be ready to meet my fellow teachers and researchers at the Southern California Marine Institute at 7 the following morning.<br />
There we will embark on the USC ferry to Catalina Island, a hour and half trip. Hopefully, I won't get seasick as I do sometimes!<br />
<br />
Thinking about what I want to bring back to the classroom, the effects of global warming on the ocean is definitely an interest of mine. This is a topic I hope to learn more about from the scientists on the island.<br />

<br />
I am a traveler! I love traveling and grew up traveling around the world as my dad was a diplomat.<br />
We lived in Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Washington DC, Germany, Bangladesh and Bolivia.<br />
I went to high school and college in Massachusetts, Bolivia, New York and California, which is where I now live.<br />
<br />
I graduated from UCSC, with a BA in media-communications and went back several years later for a two year teaching program in bilingual/multicultural studies.<br />
<br />
Teaching has been a big part of my life. I have been a teacher for twenty eight years: starting as a bilingual elementary teacher, teaching overseas in Bolivia in an international school, teaching Japanese students English, working in a home study program with kids of all ages, teaching a high school Spanish course, and now working as a middle school science and math teacher.<br />
<br />
I am also a writer and photographer, publishing over thirty articles in various travel and educational magazines.<br />
<br />
My husband, Craig, is also a teacher and is now teaching music at Freedom School in Watsonville. He has been playing music professionally for thirty years and has a local band called the Rayburn Brothers Band. My daughter, Jessie is a freshman at San Diego State University and my son Rowan is a junior at Aptos High School. We have two cats, Blaze and Nemo. We live in a little cabin by a creek in the redwoods in the Santa Cruz mountains.<br />
<br />
Places I would like to travel to are New Zealand, Australia, Africa, Iceland, and Japan.<br />
