Swierenga recording a section of Fleetwing
Garrett Bay
The second field school stayed in North Carolina and explored three different sites in different creeks off of the Pamlico River. The students--Elise Carroll, Jim Kinsella, Patrick Merrigan, Bettie Pratt, Allyson Ropp, Sara Spatafore, and Devin Urban--split into three groups each taking a creek. Under the guidance of Dr. David Stewart, each site was recorded as best they could be in the black muddy waters of the Pamlico. The sites included a logging containment area, a centerboard schooner, and a flat bottom vessel. While the students were limited by the conditions of the Pamlico River area, they practiced different techniques of recording and surveying, such as side scan sonar, and dealt with sites many did not know of.
