Visit Saba in October If you are thinking of visiting Saba but are not quite sure when you should do so, consider the month of October. During this entire month, there will be many opportunities for you to combine your vacation with exciting and educational environmental awareness activities organized by Saba’s Sea & Learn Foundation, which has dedicated this entire month to learning. There will be plenty to do both day and night. It’s fun; it’s free; and it’s for everyone! Monitor www.seaandlearn.org for this years’ guest scientists, planned activities and field projects and follow them on Facebook at: facebook.com/seaandlearn/ In October, Dr Joe Pawlik will be focusing on Caribbean sponges. Join him on a guided dive in Saba’s waters to survey the sponge biodiversity, learn how a sponge filter-feeds, and learn techniques for aging these interesting, sometimes taken for granted, organisms!
