This trip was with dad instead of Seth. I sat back more so the kids on the cruise could get more out of it. We were told most of the names, however I didn’t take proper notes.

Multiple Seahorses During The Marine Biology Cruise

January 15, 2019 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

This was probably the most phenomenal part of the recent marine biology cruise that Seth and I did. I love seahorses but have never seen them in the wild before. I’m fairly certain some of them are a shorthead seahorse but other than that, I’m totally out of my depth.

I do know that seahorses/sea dragons will be a priority when I start snorkelling and diving.

At first I was excited, thinking I had sighted my first nudibranch. Alas, it is another sea hare. Still fascinating. [Read more…] about Multiple Aplysia Parvula Specimens On The Marine Biology Cruise

Sea Life Discovered On Marine Biology Cruise

January 11, 2019 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

The main goal of the marine biology cruise was to see what sea life we could discover among the seaweed under the water. There was a lot of diversity in the type of sea life we found. It was a crowded boat of 20 (plus staff) and we were passing around buckets. I didn’t get the best photos as I was trying not to be a nerd and to let the other families get a good luck. As such, a lot of these won’t have the name of the animal. I’m prioritizing my health and need to earn an income currently so working as hard to identify animals. It’s hard for me, as I love the process… but I’ll need money to do more exploring 🙂

Marine Biology Cruise Around Port Phillip Bay

January 9, 2019 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

I love gannets. I enjoyed photographing them in Portland a couple of years ago as well as the ones I’ve been following every time I go to Eastern Beach. They fascinate me. I’ve been keen to visit the colony at Popes Eye in Port Phillio Bay for years now. I haven’t been able to justify the cost considering, well, I’m project. Chronic migraines didn’t help.

When the opportunity to do a marine biology cruise around the bay came up, I phoned up immediately. I’ve been trying to get my nephew and I on one of these trips for year but they always get booked out quickly.

This time… we were lucky! And it only cost $10 each, compared to $70+ for a tourist-type of cruise. Awesome!
