Grice April 11th

On April 4th we waded to a small island at Grice that is only accessible at low tide. On April 4th it was partly cloudy with a high of 68 degrees. It was fairly windy out on the water. In the shallow water we used a seining net to observe the different organisms in the area. We didn't catch very much with the seining net but we did catch quite a bit of Atlantic Silverside fish, a few Swimming Crabs, a Sea Squirt, and a very small Planehead Filfish. Along the beach we saw many Eastern Mudsnails along with lots of Red Algae which kind of looked like hair washed up on the shore. We also a few Cannonball Jellies and one very cool Lion's Mane Jellies in a small pool of water. In the nets we also observed a few Plumed Worms which were pretty hard to distinguish, they blend in with the sand and seaweed. Besides the living organisms we found, we also found a lot of sharks teeth. I found around 20 just along the shore. I love sharks and looking for their teeth so this was easily my favorite part of this trip.
