Note from Instructor: "This is an intro to fields methods course. The first half is spent going and learning how to survey different ecosystems around Monterey Bay (rocky intertidal, sandy beach, dunes, Elkhorn Slough and more!). The second half is spent doing independent study projects. A great opportunity to get outside and get 5 credits for a summer field course! Email jogsmith@ucsc.edu with questions." Visiting Students - prerequisites are lifted in summer. Metro Route 3 bus operates ~6 times each day between downtown Santa Cruz and the Coastal Science Campus.
