Learn to identify fish, analyze marine habitats and apply the research techniques of professional marine biologists, on this one-of-a-kind, expert-led ocean voyage.
St. Kitts, Statia, St. Barts and Saba. To some, these may sound like exciting ports-of-call on a Caribbean cruise. To you, and the marine scientist in you, they are places to discover thriving reefs and diverse ecosystems, and come face to face with an abundance of marine life. On this voyage, learn marine ecology, oceanography, and marine park management. Record animal behavior. Dive a sunken vessel. And collect vital data for the REEF Fish Survey Project. Plus, there’s even time for a hike into the crater of a dormant volcano – as if you lacked excitement. Prepare for a hands-on, untethered marine biology voyage in a classroom like no other.
