Day 72 - 16th April 2010

Today we started a Marine Resource Management course.  It's a 5 day course and this morning we covered the following:

The Ecology and Biology of Coral Reef
The origin & characteristics of coral reefs
Differences Between Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Reefs
Coral Anatomy and Biology

In the afternoon, we went to 'Shark bay' to do quadrant surveys on the old Biorock.  I didnt go in the water but sat on the rock for a couple of hours and waited.  Once surveys were done, we headed back to Crystal to input the data onto a global database and then headed home, stopping onthe way for a takeaway. 

I think it must be the heat as we were both feeling exhausted and ended up going to bed around 9pm

Packing em in ain't we!

The thing is we need to have at least 5 teaching level specialities under our belt before we complete the MSDT course...
