Long Key Lake at Sunset. It seems that autumn has arrived in the Florida Keys just in time for the creative inquiry class visit. Air temperatures are returning to the lower 80s but the water temperature has dropped to the mid 60s.
This weekend, we head to the Keys for the field research experience of a lifetime at the Keys Marine Laboratory in Long Key Florida. After a bit of a ride down to Florida, we are looking forward to brisk fall conditions of 80 degrees and sunny, with winds from the Northeast at 15-20 kts. Should be a great weekend!
This is the official blog of the Conservation of Marine Resources creative inquiry team at Clemson University (BIOL 3940/4940). The purpose of this blog is to give the students in this course the opportunity to document and share their experiences as we conduct field research in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and beyond. Enjoy!
