MARINE Research & Field Trips

Because one of the best ways to learn is through experience, field trips and research cruises are a significant part of Marine Studies at Canterbury. Students visit Ft. DeSoto Park, Weedon Island Preserve, Caladesi Island, Clam Bayou Marine Education Center at Clam Bayou Nature Park, Shell Key Preserve and other locations.

Learning the letter "F," prekindergarten students take a class "f"ishing trip. Catch of the day becomes art with fish prints on crisp t-shirts to remember the experience. Older students may visit the Pier Aquarium or MarineQuest, the annual open house at the Florida Fish and Wildlife Institute.

Canterbury students also explore Tampa Bay on the classroom vessel operated by Tampa Bay Watch. While on board, students collect samples from the bottom, sample local scallop populations, test water quality and map seagrass habitats.

Middle school students travel to Crystal River and swim with the manatees for the day, coming face to snorkel with these protected and gentle giants. In seventh grade, academics takes students to the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute in the Florida Keys, where they snorkel, spy noctural sea life under beams of flashlights, and take classes to learn about fragile marine environments and management of natural resources.

The cliché "the world is my oyster" could be a community slogan for students participating in Marine Studies at Canterbury. From Canterbury's campus to the Florida Keys, students have a wide range of interactive and exciting ways to explore marine science.
