Finding Fish, Fun, and Friends in Troia
Authored By:
This morning was filled with sand, sun, and sea shells!
We spent our morning traveling by ferry to discover species of brown, red, and green algae as well as sea carrots, sea squirts, barnacles, chitons, sea stars, urchins, polychetes, and many more in Troia. The students were introduced to a local fisherwoman and her catch of the day, some spider crabs and cuttlefish!

Later, we traveled to a nearby port to learn about a traditional fisherfolk ceremony in which boats are decorated and a pilgrimage is made.
