The new and improved FHL website just launched, and you can visit it now at fhl.uw.edu. The application deadline for autumn quarter courses is May 15, so start exploring the site now to learn more.

You don’t need to be enrolled in the FISH 260/261: Recreational Fisheries course to attend one of the many guest lectures hosted this spring quarter. Please see the attached flyer for the schedule of guests representing perspectives on a range of topics impacting recreational fisheries in the Pacific NW.

Hello! My name is Jill Furgurson and I am the Director of College Programs at Broadreach. Our programs offer hands-on, experiential learning designed to get you out of the classroom and immersed in the field of marine biology. Choose from a variety of unique courses and prepare to work alongside scientists in the field, earning professional certifications and college credit along the way. 

Reminder to attend the info session for Spring/Summer courses at Friday Harbor Labs next Tuesday, January 17 from 10:30-11:20 in MSB 123.

The Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program at The University of Washington (DDCSP@UW) is now accepting applications for the 2017-2018 cohort!
About the Program
DDCSP@UW is a paid, multi-summer, undergraduate experiential learning program that explores conservation across climate, water, food and ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest.
A primary goal of the program is to expand what it means to be a “conservation professional”.  

Ocean 409: Marine Pollution taught by Oceanography Professor and Program on the Environment Director Rick Kiel still has space available. Although the course has a listed pre-requisite of OCEAN 210: Integrative Oceans, interested Marine Biology minors without this course are still strongly encouraged to contact Rick (rickkeil [at] uw [dot] edu) as he is willing to be flexible. This course can help fulfill the ‘Oceanography Elective’ requirement of the Marine Biology Minor. 

A representative from the SEA Semester program will be tabling in the Vista Cafe on Wednesday, April 6 from 12 – 1:30 PM. Find out how you can spend a semester on a sailboat in the Caribbean, Europe, Polynesia or New Zealand. While these are not UW programs, the UW School of Oceanography faculty highly recommends them and supports credit equivalencies for many of their courses. 

Starting to plan for the next year? Want to figure out how to schedule for the courses for the Marine Biology Minor? This shared google sheet has the most up to date information from faculty in Biology, Fisheries and Oceanography about course availability and scheduling. Have more questions? Contact the adviser for schedule an appointment. Please note that the sheet only represents the best information we have at any given time, and course scheduling is subject to change.
