    Description
    This course focuses on the intersection of conservation, community science and aquaria. Students will learn about animal rescue, technologies for breeding animals for release into the wild, community science and monitoring, habitat restoration, and impact of climate change on coastal resilience. Students will explore the role aquaria can play in communicating the importance of marine conservation, climate science and establishing community science programs. This course is a collaborative effort with Orange Coast College and local aquaria with all meetings held offsite in specialized facilities.
