Kind of Mexico



Our next trip was to Puerto Galera, where we got to eat our first Mexican meal in the Philippines! Puerto Galera is on Mindoro Island

Our Ride

One of our sites

Feather duster worm

Feather duster worm in hidding

Nemo!

Pipe Fish

I caught one with my hand!

At every site we collect biomass; or large bags of sea grass. Then we get to sort it on the boat...to be weighed later

Seagrass bed



We went on a dive while in Puerto Galera, and we came across a ghost net. This net was at 42 feet in a marine protected area. We removed in and all the fish it had killed.


After we finished our first site, Angela gave us some time off, and we decided to go to a place called White Beach.
Our first night we got roped into karaoke 

The girls song



After karaoke we found a toad!

He didn't turn into a prince
After White Beach, we went back to Puerto Galera and we finished two sites without Angela, and then two more with her overseeing.

My next blog will be more in depth, it is almost dinner time!!
