Today we went down to the rocky intertidal area! We found an abundance of sun stars, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, and one lumpy-clawed crab.

Right across from CEDO, I was walking on the rocky substrate which had all sorts of creatures. From orange sponges, like the one in the photo, that squishes and leaks water.

Overall, a good observational day for my first day at CEDO.

SALT MINE WITH DANIEL

On Monday, we had a chance to learn about how salt production in Mexico comes to be. CEDO has a sweet friend named Daniel whose family owns an ejido, which is a plot of land given to families where they are able to cultivate it for agricultural uses. Daniel's ejido is being put to use for two types of agriculture production, and we got to visit both! The first location we stopped at was where table salt was being made. We were shown all of the processes by Daniel's friend, Fabien. He had learned most of his salt production knowledge from past experience but is still gaining new knowledge to become faster and more efficient. The table salt process is mostly a rotation between cleaning and drying the salt water through various stages. In the pictures, you can see little squares where each step is shown. Near the end of the presentation, Fabien had mentioned this project has only been running for 5 months, and they've already had about 6 tons made! I couldn't believe it! H...
