Your Experience

Onboard the R/V Sea Explorer, students form research teams to test the offshore nutrient levels, complete a bio assessment of the sea floor habitat, and examine the local plankton population. Students learn about the hydrologic cycle and what lives in a watershed. A hands-on demonstration with a model of a watershed shows how humans impact our fragile environment. The program drives home why everyone needs to understand how we all affect our local watersheds.
