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.
