Marine Biology

This is my fifth (?) week of marine biology and I love it. It is so much more fun than Ap biology that's for sure. We're learning about coral reefs and how they are essential to sea life. I mean, now that I'm out of Ap biology, I actually have time to do other work. Anyway, we have to choose an organism to do a project on in marine bio and I chose a beautiful, cushion sea star. (You're not allowed to call them starfish because they are not really fish). They're fairly common throughout the Carribean and around Japan, California and Alaska. Sometimes otters will rip off one of their arms when they're hungry, but the starfish can regrow their body parts so it's no biggie. That's my current research. I haven't gotten very far.
