Dive into marine science and conservation in this hands-on course for grades 6-12, combining virtual classes, workshops, and immersive field trips. Through classes on Marine Protected Areas (MPA), kelp forests, and fish identification, students learn about marine ecology, conservation, and participate in community science programs, contributing valuable data to ongoing research.
​
The course begins with a foundational virtual class on MPAs and a survey workshop at an LA beach, where students observe human impacts on marine environments. Participants can further explore the ecosystem’s health with a snorkeling workshop on Catalina Island, where they survey species within kelp forests and contribute to a citizen science initiative.
With a flexible structure, the course includes Tuesday evening virtual classes, available as recordings, and optional field trips that deepen understanding of marine ecology.
