Marine Conservation

I am currently attending Prescott College studying education in Environmental and Marine Science. I spend a good portion of my time in Kino Bay where Prescott College has a research base. This blog is designed to document my experience during my studies in Marine Conservation. The course is a collaboration of three classes: Global Marine Issues, we will develop an understanding physical environment in which will be living (Kino Bay, Mexico). This will include landscape, oceans, islands, cultures, policy, economics e, along with environmental issues such as pollution, tourism, habitat restoration. The second part of the course i titled Gulf of Mexico Conservation Case Studies, we will then observe regional case studies pertaining to the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of Mexico). We will examine difference fishing techniques while speaking to fisherman and working on a shrimp trawler monitoring bi-catch, and aquacultures and so forth. Lastly is Applied Conservation Research, we will be examining specific conservation projects and efforts. We will be working on conservation projects as well with proposals. We will also have the opportunity to work management agencies, scientists, educators, and local resources. Through this blog I am excited to spread my love, passion and knowledge to who ever is interested
