Day 5 Night Saine

We went out to the beach this night and sained to see what we would find.  Saining is when you take a net and drag it through the water to filter out the organisms.  After we filtered out the organisms we placed them in a bucket with water to observe them.  We saw many different things including: 

• puffer fish
• yellow spotted sting ray
• baby grunts
• red fin parrot fish
• needle fish
• silver sides
• school master snappers
• pipe fish (related to seahorses)
• jelly fish
• sharp nosed puffers

One of the highlights for the night was seeing the neighborhood children gather around the bucket to see what we had caught.  They were very eager to learn about the fish.  They even helped take the fish from the net and put them in the bucket for us.
