Coral Reef Ecology 2021
CORAL REEF ECOLOGY CLASS 2021 This is my class, we came from all over the world (UK, Belgium, USA, Italy, Germany, Brazil) to attend the Coral Reef Ecology Course. What we didn't know when we met was that we were going to live a unique experience that would bond us forever as classmates and friends. I was very nervous and scared before I left on this trip, the world had become a scary place for me since Covid was "real" outside of New Zealand. I travelled through the US (LA, Boston and New York) through very packed airports and domestic flights, and made it to Bermuda and back safe and sound. I realise now that my fears were bigger than they should have been. I lived amongst Covid for a month, just like everyone else had done for the past two years, and it wasn't scary, it was normal. Th e world has learnt how to live with it and so could I . I returned home thinking differently, life doesn't stop .... it actually shouldn't stop!! ...
