Press Release

Log Book

 

The expedition cruise for the winter season will consist of a project of forty days and forty nights through the Florida Keys, across to the Yucatan and down to the Panama Canal.  Working with professional scientists and equipment, projects will include collecting and counting zooplankton, sampling sea life at various depths, reporting on weather and referencing historical weather records, shore bird counts, marine mammal counts.  Results from each daily activity will be kept in an electronic log book with frequent uploads to the Web Site at http://www.ocean-explorers.com/SciKids

 

In addition, the expedition will travel to the purported site of Dinosaur extinction where a meteorite hit the earth leaving its crater in the waters off of the Yucatan Peninsula.  Kayak instruction leads to shore line explorations.

 

A documentary film by award winner Byron Paul Tomingas is being produced on the expedition that will highlight the SciKid activities and discoveries.  For other expedition films see: http://www.ocean-explorers.com/Synopsis.wmv
