Today was our second class learning
about Boston Harbor. Today our professor plans our first trip to the Boston
Harbor in a ferry that we board at the Aquarium. During our second class the
professor talks about the importance of our own observation in order to study
science. In our first trip we have the assignment of observing the island, the
ocean, etc. During this class I was able to experiences how important to
observe and to talk about our observation because people can see thing differently
but not everybody can be correct.
I arrived at the Aquarium Station
around 12:00Noon and grab something to eat. At 1:10PM, we all got together
before boarding the boat and talk about what we need it to observed and learn
from this trip. It was 1:10PM and it was
a busy time at the Aquarium a lot of people walking around the area and also
people observing the ocean. Before
taking our ferry we took a look at the ocean tides and we noticed that the
tides at the time was really low. I can noticed that the tides were low because
in the rock I was able to observed that it had a darker color where there was
not water. It seem that the tides get really high during different times of the
day. The temperature was around 90 degree and the sun was strong. At the end of
our trip I observed the tides and were getting little higher. The professor
explained that the tides usually get high after 1:20Noon.
We board our ferry that was going
to take us to see the Boston Harbor Island. The first things that I observed
while we start our trip on the Ferry was that the Boston Harbor was most cover
by land and land that are protected for Hurricanes. The ferry stopped twice one
time at Quincy and the other at Boston Logan Airport. The professor was talking
about all the changes that happen at Boston Harbor. Boston Harbor went thru a
cleaning process for many years that cost a lot of money in order to make it in
one of the most cleaning ocean in the United States. The professor was talking
to us about the prices of the houses that went up because Boston Harbor was
convert into a clean and safety place for people to live. But the process of
making Boston Harbor a cleaning place with real estate prices going up does not
stop there because is becoming a large industry. The people want to open
business as restaurant closer to Boston Harbor. I also observed that in few of
the Island, observed people walking and swimming while other people where
enjoying the whether in their boat. The professor also talks to us about of the
Island that have a shelter in the island and also about the bridge that connect
to the Island that only one car can be on the bridge because the bridge is
really old.
In this trip I was able to learn a
lot about the Boston Harbor. This trip makes me exited to discover about Boston
Harbor species and nature. The professor also talks about the process to clean
our wastewater into safety water. I didn’t know that Boston Harbor was the
place were our wastewater run to and goes to the process of cleaning. It was
amazing to learn the process of the pipes and the process of cleaning the
water. It took time and money in order to clean the Boston Harbor we should
continue on keeping it clean and each of us can continue making a difference in
our cities.
