    Syracuse shared the details of what else went down on the Anthem of the Seas a few years ago. On February 6, they encountered really high winds, and all of the passengers had to say in their rooms for hours to avoid being injured. The ship was even leaning at a 45-degree angle at one point during this storm. Another Royal Caribbean ship also had a sad incident this year when a 46-year-old Texas man fell 100 feet overboard while traveling on Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas off the coast of Florida.…

    In my experience of an oceanography cruise, there was so much to see and learn all at once. Collecting data, recording data, and actively participating in using various objects to collect the data was very interesting. Nikon bottle, Refractometer, Secchi Disk, Plankton and Otter-Trawl, to name a view, were the various instruments we used to collect the data we need as the science crew. In analyzing the various aspect of the ocean, the Ponar was the most interesting object we used. It appeared to be this big heavy object that was thrown into the ocean and pulled back up and opened for review. However, that is only part of the description of a Ponar, it is more than just that and is very important in collecting ocean sediments.…

    I found this article to be very informative. I and I presume many others were not aware of the large amounts of disease causing pathogens on the beach. When I go to the beach, I always see people eating lots of food and playing in the sand, but I never see anyone using hand sanitizer or washing their hands before eating. I think that if more local studies were put out it would inform the public and they would be able to protect themselves from dangerous pathogens. In the article I saw a picture of and pipe that was releasing raw sewage directly into water at Delray Beach in Florida. How can people be dumping sewage into the water, where people eat and drink and expect no negative outcomes? I personally believe that this needs to be stopped…
