Students Experience Ecology Hands-on at Chicoteague Bay Field Station

Dr. Nancy Burke and her Marine Biology class enjoyed an exciting four day field trip to the Chincoteague Bay Field Station in Wallops Island, Virginia, for some interactive, hands-on learning about coastal ecology. While learning about theintertidal zone, dune ecology, and maritime forest ecology, the group motored through the bay on a boat excursion, gathered specimen, and identified organisms in a lab setting.
