Day 6 CTY Session 2

After a storm for the ages, the students visited one of the hallmark of the Chesapeake Marine Biology  studies: an oyster hatchery and conservation station.  The students learned about the entire development cycle of oysters and oyster bed ecosystems from some of Maryland’s finest biologists.  Next came  a nice lesson on the history of sailing and some fun bonding over Disney movies.  After a long day of storms and clouds, the sun rolled through to show off some new tie dyed bandannas and we continued our study of knots and fishes.  As we fell asleep, our bellies full of ice cream sandwiches and delicious pasta, the students rested little as they were excited for tomorrow.
