COURSE: MARINE 305
CREDITS: 15 Points
This course ran for the first time in February 2021, its aim being to provide Marine Science majors with practical experiences that they missed out due to Covid 19-related cancellations of many laboratories and field trips in 2020. The course was successful and will continue to be run in future years during summer school. It will consist of a 5-day field trip at the Leigh Marine Laboratory (from January 31-Feb 4 in 2023). Students will stay onsite in bunkrooms and meals will be provided at a reasonable charge ($30/day in 2022). Transport from the city will also be provided. The course will involve learning skills in a wide range of disciplines, and will include time on the University’s research vessel Te Kaihopara (weather permitting). A report will be written on each of five one-day exercises, due 2-3 weeks after the field trip.
