Marine life (1st and 2nd of Batxillerat, Jordi Carmona)





Snorkeling: 
We had been snorkeling for about 20 minutes and we were able to see different species. First of all, a jellyfish passed in front of all of us and we were caught by surprise. Then, in the middle of the rocks, we could see some sea urchin well-camouflaged. Of course little seaweeds were around us during the first 10 meters (when they could do the photosynthesis).

The specialist Manuel Gazo dived with an air bottle over the surface of the seabed and took different species that we, after all, analyzed. For a while, we went further and a bank of elongated fish passed under us. There were about fifteen or twenty fish crossing rapidly the landscape. On the left side of the coast cove, there was an emerged rock full of lichen in the zone in which water is flowing in and out constantly. Finally, when we were about to get out the water, an octopus appeared so we could contemplate the majestic creature for a while.

After the activity, we were shown the collection of species captured and we expand our knowledge by knowing the characteristics of a little crab, the different types of starfish and the sea cucumber, a strange full of water and collagen animal.
