OIMB Coastal Biology course
COSEE Pacific Partnerships will sponsor two Community College faculty to attend the Marine Field Studies: Coastal Biology course taught at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology in Charleston. This intensive, field-oriented course provides an overview of the physical and biological features of the major coastal habitats in Oregon, including rocky shores, sandy beaches, dunes, estuaries, headlands, and forests. Students study the important species in each habitat, exploring the ecological significance of those species, and the adaptations to the environment in which they live.

“OIMB’s Coastal Biology course provided a wonderful opportunity to review and familiarize oneself with the mix of physical coastal processes, habitats and organisms that make-up Oregon’s coastline. I highly recommend this course to other community college instructors.” David D. Lonsdale, Participant-Coastal Biology of Oregon, Summer 2008. Read more about David's experience.
