Pacific salmon and trout are remarkable fishes. They have long sustained the health and culture of indigenous people from California to Alaska, Russia, and Japan. They currently support important commercial and recreational fisheries, yet in some areas they are in serious jeopardy.

FISH 497 B is an advanced course on the ecology of marine predators, the environments they inhabit, and the important biotic and physical processes that govern the structure and function of the ocean ecosystems they occupy.

Join academic advisers and the teaching team of the Summer B-Term FHL course: Marine Subtidal Ecology for an information session. This is a chance for students to get in the water to do marine biology at the world renowned Friday Harbor Labs for a 5 week intensive course (FHL 468, 9 credits).

Situated in the heart of the San Juan Islands, roughly 100 miles from Seattle, FHL is a unique satellite campus that offers students an unparalleled opportunity to immerse themselves in the Pacific Northwest’s marine environment. Much like the NBA’s “bubble,” where teams were isolated to ensure player health during the pandemic, the 2020 class of MARBIO 488 became its own bubble.
