The highlights of this summer course will include:

Marine Ecology Courses in:    
scubabullet Fish scubabullet Coral
scubabullet Invertabrates scubabullet Limu Identification
scubabullet Underwater Photography scubabullet Videography
scubabullet Coral Reef Conservation scubabullet Reef Surveys
scubabullet Marine Science Project scubabullet Report Writing
scubabullet Project Presentations    
Students will develop knowledge through classroom lectures and scientific inquiry, then reinforce their knowledge and broaden their comprehension of these science principles by using them in a hands-on science experiment in the marine ecosystem. The purpose is also to bring science to life for the students and show them science is fun, interesting and relevant. Students learn how science taught in the classroom is applied outside in the real world. At the same time students also gained awareness and connection to their surrounding environment and learned how they can preserve the environment through stewardship.
