sea stories…Join us for the joys, triumphs and hardships of conducting science while under sail. Your guide, Dr. Schell, takes you on a voyage around the world’s oceans with Sea Semester students. Hear the sounds of humpback “whale singing” on the Silver Banks. Witness the discovery of a lost species of Sargassum threatening the Caribbean. Watch students swim with sharks while studying the second largest “coral bleaching” event ever recorded. Watch “Meddies” (deep water eddies) in the Gulf of Cadiz.
