April 18 Grice pt.2

The students returned to Grice for their final FYE trip of the semester. We boarded a research vessel that belonged to the DNR on a beautiful and sunny day that had a high of 79 degrees. "This is such a gorgeous day to be out" was a statement that was thrown around the boat numerous times. As the boat proceeded, occasional stops to drop the large dredge was released and the boat slowly trolled around to scrape the bottom of the benthic zone. We pulled in three different batches, and they got better and better. Catches like pufferfish, robin fish, squid, and shrimp were an experience that many students wouldn't be able to have outside of this class. The shrimp and squid were reserved for meals for the specimens that are being held at the laboratory. This trip was a great finale for the course as all students were engaged, sharing laughs and enjoying the day together.
