Scots J-Term Andros Island
January 4th through January 12th of 2019 my research advisor, Brad Sturgeon, along with 7 other students and myself, visited Forfar Field Station on Andros Island in the Bahamas. There I was able to learn about the natural environment of sea urchins We also gained field experience by studying them through snorkeling. The interns at Forfar were very knowledgeable about the area and the creatures inhabiting the ocean around the island.
Below is a link to an article written about the trip as a whole:
