Marine Biology Research Camp

Enrollment: 19 campers
Discover firsthand one of the most richly diverse marine environments in the world. Develop investigation skills used in marine biology at the University of California Bodega Marine Lab, located at Bodega Bay on the Sonoma County coast, surrounded by rocky tide pools, mudflats, estuaries, coastal dunes, and sandy beaches. Students conduct research projects of their own design with guidance from Hall instructors and scientists. Supervised evening activities offer time to relax, make friends, and play volleyball on the beach.

Activities include:

• Visiting a different tidal area each morning at low tide
• Learning new ways to collect, identify and observe marine organisms
• Maintaining your own saltwater aquarium for a project on marine organisms of your choosing
• Identifying and preserving Pacific Coast seaweeds
• Using different sampling methods to document population changes of local and introduced marine species and their ecosystems

Facilities include research labs, classrooms, many large aquaria, a computer lab, and a library overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Transportation from the Hall to Bodega, meals, and dormitory-style housing are provided.
