Weather: fine, increasingly windy (15 knots) Tides: High tide - 10:34, Low tide - 16:24

Details: Group 1 had a last snorkelling survey for their project, and was happy that the water wasn’t as cold as the day before.
Group 2 debriefed in the restaurant area and wasn’t seen until 4 PM. Everyone worked hard on their presentations, but the scheduled time slot of 16:00-18:00 for the presentation of each groups results had to be postponed to the next morning at 08:00, because group 1 did too much fieldwork and wasn’t able to finish their presentation on time, as were the other groups. Everyone was a bit surprised, but to be honest group 3 was really happy of the circumstances because Xenia, Kristin and Julien had the opportunity to go snorkelling for a last time.


At 18:00, Prof. Gert Woerheide, Dr. Mike Reich and Dr. William Loh sponsored and organized a reception for the students with wine, cheese and snacks. This reception was planed to conclude the two wonderful weeks we had, but because the talks had to be hold the next day not everyone had the chance to enjoy it at 100%, but it was a nice evening.
