Salish Sea Science Day

We had a guest scientist today, Ryan, from Salish Sea Expeditions, who guided us through some water sampling including testing pH, temperature and salinity of the water at the surface and at 3 meters deep. We also did a phytoplankton tow. The longboat is a great platform for learning science!
