The research trip is going great!! The team has collected over 330 species and has almost 385 specimens. We have had a lot of help from John Furey (biologist) and Harry Blalock (dive guide). They have both assisted in our specimen collection and analyzation. Kalie has been on a total of 14 dives for the team and has collected new specimens for the BYUH science department. Kalie's dive sites include: Wing Beach, Lau Lau, Grotto, and Obyan. She also received her advanced dive certification for the completion of the dives. Our favorite specimens collected are the octopi and purple bob-tailed squid. They were fun for the students to photograph in the lab. We have made friends with the local members of the Church, and have really enjoyed our time with them. Amanda was given the opportunity to fly to Guam on Friday to meet with Dr. Gary Denton, research professor at WERI and University of Guam. Denton researches heavy metals and bioindicators. He assisted Amanda with her 491 project, which is researching the use of a sea anemone as a bioindicator. Amanda now has the basis for her proposal, experimental procedure, and ideas for her presentation. Dr. Goodwill is pleased with students and the specimens collected.
