After a good nights rest, we all got up bright and early to start our day. The first part of our day we all went to Looe Key to play in the water. Half of us went snorkeling and the other half went scuba diving. The main goal of the trip was to test our ideas about our fish research. Besides research, the divers saw 4 eagle rays, a green moray eel, a sea turtle, and 5 spiny lobsters. And not to leave the snorkelers out, they saw a Caribbean reef shark. Besides for the few unfortunate who became sea sick, everyone had an enjoyable time. After this dive trip, the fish group realized they might need to re-work their experiment ideas. A welcomed lunch followed our dive trip shortly followed by brainstorming from the fish and protocol test from the lizard group. Only 40 minutes in the field and the lizard group managed to catch 6 brown anoles, 1 green anole, and a juvenile house gecko. While the lizard group was catching lizards and testing protocol, the fish group traveled to a near by canal to do some net seining, eventually returning with about 60 bait fish! Colin and Aarin prepared a delicious Cajun meal of rice, red beans, and kielbasa. Fat and happy, we all continued our research well into the night. The fish group caught mangrove snappers for analyzing the ctenia on the scales. Ctenia are finger like projections on the back of the scales that are used for smoother travel through the water. The lizard group finished their testing for the night, they released the lizard back to their habitats......word

P.S. How do you catch a tame rabbit?
