Yesterday the students found a piece of driftwood and decided to make a sign to leave at CCMI as a memory of us. We had an absolutely wonderful time and Little Cayman was everything we had hoped it would be. Until next time....
This week has flown by and we can't believe it's our last day here! The sun was back and we packed up the van and headed out. Our first stop was to a beach that was in desperate need of clean up. After filling all of our garbage bags, Mother Nature rewarded us with a...
We woke up to rain and clouds today. We were all a little disappointed to have a dismal, rainy day, especially seeing it was our final day on the boat, but the locals were very excited as it was the first rain they had gotten in months, and they were happy to fill...
We started our day with two more dives/snorkels from the boat. We put aside our REEF fish survey boards and learned how to survey a section of coral reef and how to collect the health of the reef that we observed. Did you know that only 9.8% of coral reef is still...
Today was our first day out on the boat! We left bright and early and headed to the dock to catch the boat that would take us out for our first boat snorkel/dive. We visited two sites this morning, Great Wall West, and Donna's Delight. Lucy and Cavan took to the deep...
We had another jam-packed day! We started our day out with snorkeling at Mary's Bay and Point of Sand collecting our REEF survey information. Mary's Bay was a nice leisurely snorkel while Point of Sand was beautiful to look at but had a very strong current. Thankfully...
We had a jam packed day today! We started off bright and early and headed out to Tarpon Lake to check out the three different kinds of mangroves that we learned about in our lecture this morning. There has not been much rain on Little Cayman so the lake was pretty...
Even though we had a very early start at 4:30 am, we were all smiles when we piled into the world's smallest propeller plane to make our "hop" over to Little Cayman! CCMI is directly on the ocean and it is breathtaking! We quickly threw on our swimsuits and wasted no...
It’s been a long time coming but the FY24 class for Marine Biology is finally headed to Little Cayman.
Take a trip to Key Largo, Florida, via our blog when we visited Sunset Cove in 2021.
