Batch 1 & 2 geography students of 9B/C, 5 IB students, along with concerned faculty members left for Goa on the 28th morning at 5 a.m. We were in Goa by 6a.m. and reached the hotel by 8a.m. After breakfast, we all went to the Arpora beach in Baga, Goa to survey the area that had to be studied.

The students were divided into 3 groups. Each group had a leader and a timekeeper. The rest of the day was spent in the hotel with each group working on their experiments, and questionnaires. In the evening, at 4.30 p.m., we went back to the beach to start the first round of experiments. The students had to measure the longshore drift, wave frequency, windspeed & direction, beach length &gradient and talk to the locals, tourists and fishermen to get an idea of the human activities and also to figure out how the beach was being used as a resource.

We worked at the beach on the 29th for 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening. After dinner on the 2nd day, all the 3 groups gave a presentation on their respective findings and analysis. This was one of the most exciting part of the tour. On the last day we went to the cliff in the morning for the last of the trip.

At the cliff, the students measured the cliff height, observed the rock arrangements and also noticed the different forms of erosion and erosional features.

Finally, at 1pm on the 30th after lunch we left for the airport to board the flight to Mumbai.
