Fingerplowing for Cockles

This week was pretty hectic in activities. First off I met another Hawaiian girl here who I went to high school with. Her name is Anuhea and is extremely nice. Together we attended the first Kapa Haka meeting and just got blown away by their beautiful voices. It will be fun trying to learn how to sing and pronounce Maori words.

I also went to Blueskin bay for my Marine Ecology field trip. Blueskin bay is an estuary that is generally exposed during low tides. During this field trip me and my partner set up our cockle experiment. Cockles you say? Yes Cockles! They are bivales that burrow in the sediment and there are THOUSANDS of them. In order to see the cockles you had to “finger plow” the sediment. “Finger Plow” is a weird term that my professor came up with to basically describe the action of raking your fingers through the sediment. Honestly, it sent my whole class through a fit of giggles that almost made me feel like I was 10 again. While we were finger plowing we also had to do a plankton tow in a kayak. This was super fun minus the fact that somebody had accidentally flipped over making the seat completely soaked. This resulted in my butt becoming completely soaked. Let me tell you wet clothes in cold weather is SO not fun. I survived and ended my day by taking a hot shower and eating curry. Not too bad of a week I guess. Until next time!

    You actually make it look so easy with your performance but I find this matter to be actually something which I think I would never comprehend. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it! warehouse management courses
