Director of Education, Amy Heemsoth holds a crab up for students to see. She points out the jointed appendages and exoskeleton that the animal possesses and she shows students how they can determine the sex of the animal.

Ryann Rossi, PhD Candidate at North Carolina State University explains why sea urchins and sea biscuits are all a part of the same Phylum. Students at Abaco Central High School listen intently and ask lots of probing questions.

Student at Abaco Central High School takes the stage and educates his classmates about the animals in the tank. Director of Education, Amy Heemsoth looks on with approval.

Director of Education, Amy Heemsoth holds a sea hare up for students to see and gently touch. The students are intrigued by this slimy animal that can ink just like an octopus.

It's time to return the sea hares back to the ocean. The students were really excited to see these unusual creatures.

The day that we collected animals was really windy and their were white caps everywhere, but when we returned back to our collecting spot, we couldn't have asked for a better day. It also makes for a much easier transition for the animals.

Ryann Rossi, PhD Candidate at North Carolina State University explains the disease symptoms that the students should be looking for when collecting leaves from their quadrat.

Ryann Rossi, PhD Candidate at North Carolina State University explains how students should label their collecting bags. She also mentions that the students need to make sure that their ziploc bags are sealed so that we do not risk spreading the disease to other mangroves.

Red mangroves line the intertidal zone at Camp Abaco. Notice the many red mangrove seedlings that have taken root here.

Forest Heights Academy 12th grade Marine Biology student collects a soil sample from his group's quadrat.

Marine Biology student from Forest Heights Academy takes the soil temperature inside her quadrat. At the end of the year, students will compare the three sets of data that they collected while on BAM field trips.

BAM year 2 students from Forest Heights Academy wade into the mangrove mud to sample the pH and dissolved oxygen in their quadrats.

Forest Heights Academy group members take a time out from monitoring their mangroves to pose for a photo.

Students at Forest Heights Academy that are in the year 2 program work in teams of 5-6 people in order to monitor the mangroves in a 5 x 5 meter area.

Year 2 B.A.M. students measure the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water of their mangrove quadrat. Dissolved oxygen is the amount of oxygen in water. It is important to measure dissolved oxygen because it is necessary for aquatic forms of life.

Forest Heights students record their data in the mangrove journals.

B.A.M. student collects a water sample inside his mangrove plot. He will measure the temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, and pH of the water.

Forest Heights student collected a sample of water to measure the salinty or the amount of salt in the water in her mangrove quadrat.

Director of Education, Amy Heemsoth helps students at Forest Heights Academy collect mangrove data.
