Isla Mar Research Expeditions 2016 | Page 12

We welcomed another group of undergraduates from our annual field course partner, Florida Tech. Led by Dr. Ralph Turingan, we coordinated and implemented a course designed around field experience in tropical marine ecology. This year was full of adventure- based on the group interests, we used almost all free time exploring jungle, rainforest, coffee farms, and caves. Few breaks! But of course when we weren ' t on land, we were in the water. We based the course in Rincon and spent two weeks immersed in small projects at the
Tres Palmas Marine Reserve.
