Combining a love of sea life with a love of photography. What did second year student Sam Eck share with us during his Instagram takeover?
Hi there! My name is Sam and I’m currently a second year Marine Biology student at UW. Ever since I could remember I had a fascination with aquatic life. This could be tracking skittish crayfish in a backyard creek or watching sea anemones bask in tide pools. 

Fiona Curliss, the adviser at Friday Harbor Labs (FHL), will be in town next week!  She will be on the Seattle Campus on Monday, Oct. 23, Tuesday, Oct. 24, and the morning of Thursday, Oct. 26.   Pema Kitaeff, the Friday Harbor Labs Diving Officer, will also be joining the Tuesday Information Session to talk about Diving.

CIMI instructors are responsible for providing quality instruction and leadership in the educational outdoor science programs at CIMI. This entails providing the proper curriculum, ensuring all programs are conducted in accordance with set policies, and developing educational and instructional programs to ensure the high standards of the program. Marine Science Instructors lead groups of up to 16 students through 3- or 5-day overnight field trips. These trips involve teaching students about marine science and island ecology in experiential science labs, as well as taking students snorkeling, kayaking, and hiking. Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) operates a fall and a spring season serving students in grades 4-12, with opportunities for instructors to stay on and work for the summer camp programs as well. CIMI operates two facilities (Fox Landing and Toyon Bay) on the leeward side of Catalina Island in Southern California, with ideal conditions for ocean recreation and island adventure.
