Marine Biology of Bahamas

Professor Linda Vick leads this exploration of the clear warm oceanic waters of the Bahamas.  Students spend the spring semester in class meetings and then fly to the Bahamas to live at a marine biological station for a more than a week of study.  Participants snorkel amidst the intense life of the coral reef observing, collecting, and learning about the rich life of this most productive ecosystem.  On land, students observe, study, and learn about the resident Iguana population, a group of animals subject to many years of research.  They also learn about local culture and history and build life long memories of learning outside of the classroom.

The trip course is held during spring semester with the Bahamian marine field station trip in May.  The next course is planned for the spring of 2010.
