Hello YELPers!

We had such a jam-packed and busy day today and really put our leadership skills to the test, learning some crazy new stuff!

What we did:

• We started our day with a trip to a lab in West Van where we learnt about research on microplastics and animals like belugas!
• After lunch we were measuring, sorting and weighing the garbage collected from yesterday's shoreline cleanup. We collected almost 800 pieces of garbage, weighing 5 pounds in total.
• Jessica from the BC Cetaceans Sightings Network came to deliver a program on killer whales! We were able to be killer whale researchers ourselves, and help map the distribution of sightings from the BCCSN!

Questions to ask:

1. What did you learn at the lab in West Van?
2. What are some differences between killer whale populations in BC?

Thank you YELPers and we will see you all again tomorrow!
