Wailupe "Mudflats"

This past Monday we visited the Wailupe "Mudflats."  Using their reef walkers the students were able to walk safely in the water.  Students worked in pairs collecting coral, seaweed, shrimp, crab, fish, and all sorts of sea critters.  

Thanks to our lifeguard the students were educated on ocean safety.
