Hands-On Marine Biology: Jefferson Student Sea Turtle Research in Curaçao
Led by Dr. Manuela Tripepi and supported by Dr. Jeff Ashley in our College of Life Sciences, students participated in real-world conservation research, including turtle netting and tagging, habitat analysis, seagrass sampling, and nest monitoring.
Over the course of the trip, students applied classroom theory to fieldwork, gaining direct experience in marine biology, wildlife conservation, and data collection methods used by professional researchers.
This short-term study abroad experience exposed students to a new culture, a new ecosystem, and the realities of conservation science. From releasing turtles back into the ocean to tracking previously tagged individuals, each moment reinforced the importance of protecting marine habitats and endangered species.
At Jefferson, experiential learning is central to how students learn.
