The Whale-Watching Web: USA/Santa Barbara Channel Islands

Santa Barbara Channel Islands, USA


PARTICIPATE IN A SAILING RESEARCH EXPEDITION

This summer Mendocino College, in conjunction with the research organization Pelagikos, will be offering three sections of Natural Resource Studies (NRS) 100, Field Ecology in the Santa Barbara Channel Islands.
Pelagikos operates an 84-foot sailing research vessel which will be used during the course of study. The courses (see descriptions below) will coincide with ongoing research that Pelagikos has been conducting in bioacoustics and feeding behavior of blue and humpback whales.
This is a unique opportunity to engage in this research while attaining one unit of transferable credit to California State University (CSU). The courses will be taught by instructors who have been involved in this research for the past four years. Registration is through Mendocino College. Courses are open to both California and non-California residents.
