Rockport High School. Rockport, MA. Eric Sabo. 9th-12th grade
Capt. Bill Lee. F/V Ocean Reporter. Rockport, MA

November 2002
Bill Lee came into my classroom and talked about the program. He also showed the students some of the equipment he uses on the boat. In late October I brought my class down to the Sandy Bay Yacht Club and my students measured the salinity, temperature, wind velocity, and performed some basic navigation. Bill Lee saved some of his by-catch and I did a dissection of a squid and I talked about the anatomy and physiology of lobsters, crabs, skates, winter flounder, sea robins, and dogfish. I am planning another meeting with Bill in late November and I will probably perform a dissection of a dogfish for the students. I will try and get some pictures.
