🐳🐬🐟🐠🐡 Fair Harbor Field Lab Marine Biology 🦈🐙🐚🐋🦑 Ms. Landers' Marine Biology students from NMHS brought hands-on science to Fair Harbor through an engaging field experience. In collaboration with the Case Inlet Fisheries Task Force (https://www.caseinletfish.com/), students conducted a variety of scientific investigations, including surface and deep-water quality testing, Secchi disk transparency analysis, zooplankton net sampling, and microscopic plankton observation. They also utilized an underwater camera to explore aquatic environments and practiced knot-tying techniques used in salmon netting. A highlight of the day was the successful capture of a Comb Jelly, belonging to Phylum Ctenophora. An additional piece of exciting news to add on to this field trip information comes from Principal Hadfield about the arrival of the Salmon Net Pens (see photos). The Net Pens will be placed at the marina next year and utilized in the CTE pathways of Aquaculture, Advanced Robotics (with an underwater focus), and Marine Biology. Thank you Ms. Landers and Principal Hadfield, for sharing the students' experience on this field trip and for shining a light on the exciting opportunities available to our students through the robust CTE program offered in the district.
