| This is Chris mending the seine before heading to the ocean. |  |
 | The ichthyology group has a 30-meter seine that they use in the oceans. Here are Victor, Luis, Chris, Kathyrin, Edith, Cliff, Rodrigo, Andy, and Tammy heading into the surf to use the seine. |
| Going around the circle, this is Mojica, Chris, Kathyrin, Edith, Cliff, Fernando, Amy, Rodrigo, and Andy pulling the seine into shore. |  |
 | This is Luis, Victor, Elena, and Mojica dragging the seine through the surf and onto the beach. |
| This is Fernando explaing how to use the keys. |  |
 | Stephanie, Jennifer, Paul, and Travis using various keys to identify the fish that they caught. |
| The ichthyology group also goes to a small creek to sample the fish and take readings on the water quality. This is Travis using a flow meter. |  |
 | This is Fernando using a backpack electroshocker to sample fish. |
| The ichthyology group collected samples from the ocean at various times during the 5 days. This is their night sample and here are Matt and Seth helping to drag the seine onto the beach. |  |
 | As most of the other groups were done with their work, the night seining activity proved to be a great spectator event. |
