While aboard the R/V Enviro-Lab II Quinn Lovig, of Meriden, left, Will Smith, right, of Chaplin and other students watch the video screen while Finn Morgan, second from right, of Cooperstown, N.Y. operates the controls of the under water remotely operated vehicle (ROV) they placed in Long Island Sound Saturday, Sept. 29, 2018. The students took turns at the controls of the ROV while looking to see if they could see any animals at the bottom of the sound. The students were participating in the Marine Makerfaire, a full-day program on marine technology, at Project Oceanology in Groton. The program was hosted by Ignite, a program of the Thames River Innovation Place, Project Oceanology and Spark Makerspace. (Dana Jensen/The Day)
T.J. Therrien, center, of Pomfret, places a Van Dorn bottle over the side of R/V Enviro-Lab II to lower into the water to get water samples so he and Finn Morghan, of Cooperstown, N.Y., left, and Will Smith, of Chaplin, right, can test the PH, CO2, and density of the water in Long Island Sound Saturday, Sept. 29,2 018. The students were participating in the Marine Makerfaire, a full-day program on marine technology, at Project Oceanology in Groton.
