Join the Inland
Seas Education Association for the
Invasive Species Research Program on July 2-3, 2008 in Grand
Traverse Bay! The Invasive Species Research
Program has been developed to teach high school students about current research
related to invasive species in the Great Lakes Region and ways to help reduce
the introduction and spread of new invasive species.
The 2-day Invasive Species Research Program will provide the
unique experience of hands-on sampling aboard ISEA’s schooner Inland Seas.
Participants will learn and practice sampling techniques, methods for analyzing
scientific samples, and experimental design for invasive species research
projects. Course participants will also have the opportunity to interact with
scientists, mariners, and educators with a common interest in this critical
issue.
Selected participants for the Invasive Species Research
Program will participate free of charge and receive complimentary meals and
lodging while aboard the schooner.
