Ever since I was a little girl my parents brought my little sister and I to Fort Lauderdale, Florida for vacation. My mom's brother moved to this area years ago and I can obviously see why he made the decision to do so. We would always visit him and of course make several trips to the beach. Looking out at this endless blue utopia I couldn't help but to think that the ocean is a whole different world inside itself. Then and there I decided that I would love nothing more then to study and become more involved with the ocean. There are limitless amounts of creatures and organisms to be discovered and possibly things that we will never discover that makes life exist here in what looks like complete bliss. In my field researching I plan on going to different sites in south Florida to snorkel them and see what types of reefs and fish are in that particular area. I also plan on visiting the Nova Southeastern University Oceanographic center so see what types of research goes on there. As for my field research this week, I went to Dania beach. There is a pier where people seemed to be fishing, so I realized that there must be a good abundance of sea animals around this area. The ocean was a beautiful clear blue as the sun was setting and lit the sky to several colors of the rainbow. And the sand was soft and felt nice underneath my barefooted feet. Marine biology as a subculture is quite vague and there is much to learn about this certain group. So join me in my quest to find out more about this fascinating world that makes up more than half of our home.
