Blog 11: Mentorship 10 Hours Check

  1.  I am doing my mentorship at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
  2.  My contact is Chris Bautista. (Will provide information later.)
  3. I have done a total of 42 hours at the aquarium, and 6 hours at the Bolsa Chica Conservancy which gives me a total of 48 hours done.
  4. The first 10 hours that I did at the aquarium consisted of me bleaching and installing new tanks for a school of baby bay pipefish. I then learned how to siphon the waste from the tanks into a bin, and I learned how to feed the animals. The next time I went, I did a plankton-tow, which is when you have a mesh-net connected to a small bottle and you drag through the water to collect plankton to feed the animals.
