Location: Mexico

Program Description:

In addition to our year-round research on the management of critically important fisheries and water quality issues in Bahía Magdalena, our unique location allows students to concentrate on very different but equally fascinating species each semester. Students in the fall and summer programs research conservation strategies to protect several marine turtle populations reduced to near-extinction.
