Students at William Knibb High School listen to Shanna Thomas talk about the anemone in the glass container. Students are not allowed to touch this delicate animal, however, Shanna waves her fingers in the tentacles so that the students can see how the anemone reacts to motion.
Some William Knibb High School students stick around after school to continue to learn more about the organisms that we brought into their classroom as part of the J.A.M.I.N. food web curriculum.
William Knibb 10th grade Biology student gets up close and personal with a sea urchin. She as fascinated by the tube feet that help the organism to move.
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.
As part of Ryann Rossi's mangrove study, she found signs of diseased mangroves at Camp Abaco. BAM students also found signs of disease on the mangroves located at Camp Abaco.

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.
As part of the B.A.M. year 2 program, the students are learning about mangrove disease in the Bahamas and participating in ongoing science being conducted by Ryann Rossi, PhD candidate at North Carolina State University.
Ryann Rossi, PhD Candidate at North Carolina State University explains to Forest Heights Academy students how they will isolate the potentially diseased lesions on their leaves.
Before the students begin the disease activity, Ryann Rossi provides a short presentation about the mangrove disease, the types of disease, and how they plants can contract disease. During the presentation, students take notes in their Mangrove Journals.
