At the Gerace Research Center on the eastern Bahamian island of San Salvador, classrooms are more then a bunch of desks inside four walls. They’re reef walls teeming with brightly colored marine life and descending to 6000 feet. They’re also mangrove channels, seagrass beds and blindingly white beaches. Aspiring marine biologists come here with a larval-stage interest and fascination with the underwater world and, under the guidance of professional scientists, nurture it into a full-blown, hands-on exploration of tropical marine biology.
