This past week, Brooke Freundlich took me on an adventure to the Riveria Maya in Mexico! Standing by the ocean, I couldn't help but think back to the lab Miss Eberhardt's third period biology class did involving life in a drop of water. Not only were there visible seaweeds and algaes in the water, but thousands and thousands of organisms were present not visible to the naked eye. Also, just hanging around on the beach like us, was a crab! Finally, Hurricane Ida, which was approaching Mexico, was fueled by the warm tropical waters in the Gulf.
