Cheers, Caryn Ecology, Behavior & Conservation of Manatees & Dolphins A Unique Field Course in the Drowned Cayes, Belize May 31 - June 13, 2008 Sign-up now - space is limited to 24 students! Want to be a marine mammal scientist? Here's your chance to join our team for 2 intense weeks of research on Antillean manatees and bottlenose dolphins in Belize! You will be totally immersed in the study of manatees and dolphins through lectures, literature review, and field research. This unique field course combines an overview of the ecology, behavior, and conservation of sirenians and cetaceans with hands-on manatee & dolphin research in the Drowned Cayes, Belize, as part of a long-term research project in place since 1998. In addition to lectures, discussions, and reading assignments, you'll spend 3-4 hours on the water each day as we explore a labyrinth of mangrove islands and seagrass beds searching for elusive manatees and charismatic dolphins. You'll collect behavioral and environmental data and learn about photo-id techniques, help reduce and analyze data, and interpret results. To date, research on this project has resulted in 6 presentations at scientific conferences, 3 peer- reviewed publications, 1 MS Thesis, and 1 PhD Dissertation (visit link to Instructor's CV, below, for more information).
