Chincoteague Bay Field Station Provides Learning Opportunity for Marine Bio Students
Marine Biology students recently enjoyed an exciting field trip to the Chincoteague Bay Field Station in Wallops Island, Virginia, where they spent four days learning about coastal ecology.
According to their Programs Brochure, CBFS's mission is to provide outstanding multi-disciplinary educational and research opportunities that celebrate the rich natural, cultural, economic, and technological resources of the mid-Atlantic Coast region through field-based and hands-on learning. To accomplish its mission, CBFS collaborates closely with community partners such as NASA, US Fish and Wildlife Service, National Parks Service, and other public and private partners.
While learning about the intertidal 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. Unlike previous years, this group of students enjoyed the experience during delightfully warm and sunny spring weather, perfect for beach combing and getting muddy!
