Marine Ecology - April 2021

There are two separate offerings of this 3-hour course in the month of April. Both offerings are hosted via Zoom from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. April course dates are: April 23 and April 30. Please register at the link below to receive the meeting link. 

This three-hour course focuses on the rich marine environment that plays an integral role in life on this coast. This course will cover the intertidal and pelagic ecosystems of Clayoquot and Barkley Sounds, including seaweeds, invertebrates, and marine mammals (and more!) as well as local oceanographic conditions. The sessions will alternate their regional focus between Ucluelet and Tofino on a weekly rotation (regional focus noted alongside dates listed below). 

Small Town, Big Picture is a suggested prerequisite for this course. 

This course is part of the West Coast Ambassador Program. The West Coast Ambassador Program is a joint initiative of the Raincoast Education Society, the Tofino-Long Beach Chamber of Commerce, Ucluelet Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Ucluelet, and Tourism Tofino. The Raincoast Education Society is responsible for course curriculum, registration, and program delivery.
