The edge of the sea is our classroom. While one group of students finishes a transect of the beach, another group collects specimens for the cold water tanks in our wet lab. Other students focus their binoculars on offshore seabirds and cetaceans. Each evening, our staff or visiting speakers present special lectures that provide background information, and mini-seminars are offered before dinner. There are also optional morning laboratory activities. And all students design and maintain a saltwater aquarium.
