Exploring the Morua Estuary- Crabs, Oysters, and Changing Tides

On Thursday we went kayaking with our class in the Morua Estuary, and it was an amazing experience! As we paddled through the channels, we discovered lots of crabs scurrying around and native plants thriving in the water including the Pickle Weed which was edible and we were able to taste. YUM! The coolest part was seeing the oyster farms and learning how local women take turns selling the oysters they catch to support their families. But we also had a bit of a scare when the tides suddenly changed, and we had to paddle fast to avoid getting stuck. It was a lesson in the power of nature and the importance of respecting its forces. Our adventure in the Morua Estuary was both exciting and eye-opening, leaving us with unforgettable memories and a greater appreciation for the wonders of nature.

We made it to CEDO!

  We arrived in Puerto Penasco early this afternoon and got settled at CEDO. The CEDO staff introduced us to the facilities and are very gracious hosts. We are looking forward to a great week!  We had a few minutes to explore the intertidal area before dinner. We saw several species of fish, as well as numerous types of invertebrates, including a sea hare.  We’ll be up early tomorrow to do some intertidal surveys along the beach just a couple hundred meters from CEDO. -Whitney

Some cool intertidal organisms

  This decorater crab was wearing a hat! (made of sponge) This octopus inked so many times!     In the intertidal zone, we observed many different species. For example, one creature was the o ctopus; part of the Mollusk phylum. We observed the octopus use an ink spray as a form of self-defense in order to deter predators. We saw the organism ink several times in an attempt to scare us away. We also observed the 8 tentacles that are used by this organism to swim, hold things, and get around on land. This was the first of many octopi we would see!     We also saw a strange occurrence of a decorator crab using a chunk of sponge as a protective shell. It seems that the protective sponge also acts as a sort of camouflage in its environment, and helps to keep it safe from predators. These crabs are of the anthropoda phylum and must molt in order to grow. They also have 6 legs. In the second image, we observed a swimming crab. These  crabs are characterized by the flat fifth pair of legs, whi
