Clearwater Beach

weather: 82 degrees, very sunny

Our goal for this trip to Clearwater Beach was to explore beach dune systems and to construct a beach profile. This was a surprisingly fun trip. I'm not much of a beach goer but i enjoyed myself out there. The weather was surprisingly comfortable and the sun wasn't too bright.

It was very uplifting to see a gopher tortoise right at the beginning of our trip, which immediately put me in a great mood. Hopefully now everybody in class knows the difference between a tortoise and a turtle.

The exercise we did with the tape measure and meter sticks was pretty fun. I learned a lot about beach plant life. The plant that gives live birth really blew my mind.
