DMS Catalina Trip September 9 - 13, 2002

Here are some new photos from our start-of-the-year trip to Catalina Island. We stayed at the Catalina Environmental Leadership Program (CELP) camp at Howlands Landing on the California side of the island a few miles from the Catalina Isthmus. This camp is sponsered by Catalina Island Camps and Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society. Follow these links for more information about these fine groups, and check the DMS Catalina Research page for many more Channel Island links.
I spent my week with the mighty Garibaldis group of DMS students, so many of these pictures are of my group. I can't take my camera in the water. Several students had underwater cameras, and I'll scan their photos as soon as I can. I have many more photos. This is just a teaser for the slide show next June!
These pictures are organized by day:       Monday Bus and ferry ride to Catalina Ocean Orientation Snorkel Challenge Tier 1 - Group Challenges Life in the Dark Night Hike         Tuesday Challenge Tier 2 - Climbing Wall Kayak Adventure Sustainable Living Keiko Video and Discussion (and another group's Night Dive)       Wednesday DMS Sunrise 9/11 Memorial Kelp Connections Snorkle Microscope Study Nature & Creative Expression Night Snorkel       Thursday Snorkeling at Emerald Bay Ecology Hike Sculptionary Game       Friday Pack and Cleanup Challenge Tier 3 - High Ropes Ferry and bus ride home
