While snorkeling off the island of Bartholome we saw a
marine iguana several meters under water, chowing down on some coral. These animals are amazing! They can stay underwater for a really long time and when they come up they have special glands that help them expel salt from their noses. Trevor suggested someone look into synthesizing these specialized glands as a desalination method for sea water. Defiantly food for thought!
