Join us this year for our fourth annual trip to the Florida Keys this July to conduct marine field work! We will be in the water nearly the entire time besides eating and sleeping. Most of our work will consist of snorkeling, but we will also scuba dive in the Looe Key Marine Sanctuary on two separate days (four dives total).
This class is listed as a graduate course, but undergraduates are more than welcome to join us! Also, this course can be used to fill a biology elective! There is an optional lab that corresponds with the course as well.
You do NOT have to be scuba certified to go on this trip! If you are not certified when we go to Looe Key Marine Sanctuary, you will be able to snorkel while others dive. However, if you would like to get certified prior to this trip, contact Jim Kupper at Ocean Spirit Aquatics. Please let Jim know that you were referred by Dr. Vagelli and Denise Hassinger and that it is for our summer course.
