The Marine Science Club embarked on their first field trip of the year on October 3. The group. The Hy- dronauts. was led and directed by Ned Webster. a biology teacher at BJC. Food and shelter were provided by the Websters at their home on Whitehead Street. next door to Ernest Hernrngway's first Key West home. Friday evening was spent in an informal tour of the inrtnedrate vicin- ity around the Webster's home. after which the male students undertook a self-guided tour of Key West. After three hours of sleep. the students set out for Sugarloaf Marina. lo miles east of Key West. Three boats were rented. and after examining charts in the area. the club began its VETERANS' by .lint Nlilchcll journey to the Barracuda Keys. a smal group of mangrove islands. The group's first stop was on a sand beach at the east end of Marvin Key, where the students were introduced to the underwater aspects of the turtle grass Hats. Several specimens were taken and preserved, and the professor gave a lecture on the ecology of the area. Tire students next explored a shallow cut between two islands where they discovered sea aneornes, sea biscuits. spiny urclrins. and huge loggerhead Sponges three to four feet across. The group then scoured a sandtlat and followed a private boat to a I shallow reef in the Gulf. just outside the tiat line bordering the keys. The last stop for the day was Snipe Creek. a channel winding through the mangrove islands that make up many of the Gulf Keys. but after a short dive. the students returned to their boats to stow gear and make ready for the trip back. Students interested in the club should contact Mr. Webster in S-33 or Dennis Gibson at 9-lo-0553. Xlflfw riisplrrlv their surprising t'tlUii'Tl1g abilities at the Fall Festival. l Y I 1 i N
