Students will learn facts about marine mammals while developing an understanding of animal classification, habitats and food webs.
I am teaching this class because I am enthusiastic about sharing my life long passion for marine science with students. Shortly after spending my 14th birthday on the Great Barrier Reef, I was certified to Scuba Dive, and minored in Marine Science in college. I have always loved exploring underwater ecosystems and learning about the amazing wildlife of the ocean! I will share my experiences of snorkeling with dolphins and fur seals in New Zealand and manatees in Florida, and whale watching in Madagascar and Alaska!
