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. Next, I found an entire colony of hermit crabs and snails. It was pretty interesting to all the creatures bundled up in small pools within the rocks. Along the way there was some bigger creatures like crabs, and one way to tell if its male is to look at the underside to see a V which means its a male. Overall, a good observational day for my first day at CEDO.

The Cholla bay area was cold this morning. It was very sandy and wet. One of the things I found was a red sponge. I have never seen a red sponge before. Once I put my feet in the water it felt like all of my chills went to my feet from my chest area. I also got to see an Octopus come out of it's shell. It was very intriguing.

Today we went down to the sea shore early in the morning when the tide was low to learn about the little sea creatures that live in the tide pools, the weather was absolutely amazing! We also learned that tides are the highest/lowest when the earth, moon and the sun are in line, this is referred to as spring tides . On the flips side, when the earth, moon and sun are in the formation of a right angle it is called a neap tide this formation produces the least tidal range.
