    Overview

    Join researchers in a rare tropical fjord on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast as you study how floating marine debris is affecting dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life. 

     

    You’ll assist scientists in tracking how these debris rafts influence dolphin feeding behavior, sea turtle movement, and plastic ingestion rates. Through boat-based surveys, behavioral observations, and debris analysis, you’ll help piece together the complex relationship between human-generated waste and marine ecosystems.

    • Currently, I am in AP Environmental Science and am a month away from the exam. Getting a close view of sea mammals and animals was, in its own way, a form of studying. I got a better understanding of marine life and their contribution to their ecosystem and the world at large. Sometimes in the classroom, we spend so much time reading and writing about these animals that we forget that they are real. This one event reminded me of how beautiful the marine world is and how I should be better equipped to protect it.
