#HFS2018

I started this Blog when I first started working with the North Lake College Summer Hawaiian Field Studies course. I knew that in 2 weeks, I would learn so much and I needed a place to document it. I was right. I went back through my pictures when I got home and thought, "Did we stop here? I don't remember this!". So I went back to my Blog and was reminded of that moment. So many great moments, so many great stories...here is where I document them. Please read, enjoy, send me questions, comments, etc.

I will be streaming live using Periscope on my Twitter Page. Follow me @Laronna_D on Twitter and @ldoggett on Instagram

Day 9 - Anini Reef and the Kilauea Light House

Beautiful Anini Reef!  We went Reef Collecting here today.  We found some cool critters!  


After lunch (this is my view!), we went out to go snorkeling. There were some great Sea Turtles here. I cannot want to see them on my computer! I am waiting for my underwater camera to fully dry before I open it!


Afterwards, we went to the Kilauea Lighthouse.  This year, we were given an educational presentation.  Students were able to dissect a pellet from an Albatross to see what they would fine.  It is quite scary!  These are pellets from young birds.  Their parents brought this food back for them.  There was typical squid beaks, but there were also a lot of plastic debris that was found in these poor babies food. There was a LARGE amount of fishing line in their pellets.
