Marine Mammal Biology (Fall) /Conservation Ecology (Spring) Program and Undergraduate Internships (http://semesterbythebay.org/internships/) available this Spring and/or Fall Semesters at the University of Alaska Anchorage-KPC-KBC in Homer, Alaska. Semester by the Bay is accepting applications from students interested in hands-on placed-based study of conservation ecology (Spring Semester) and/or Marine Mammal Biology (Fall Semester) in the beautiful seaside town of Homer, Alaska that may result in the receipt of an occupational endorsement certificate. Our fall courses offer students numerous unique experiential learning opportunities in the lab and field, such as the behavioral ecology of beluga, humpback and killer whales, sea otters, Steller sea lions and harbor seals; acoustics of harbor porpoises and belugas; marine mammal skeletal articulation; seining, identification and articulation of estuarine and marine fishes; behavior of marine mammals in estuarine and nearshore environments. Spring courses center around individual conservation ecology research. Through Exploration Ecology students identify their own burning conservation questions and receive assistance designing, conducting and reporting real projects. Additionally, students in both semesters participate in community-based *internships*and/or service-learning volunteer opportunities with governmental or non-governmental researchers while studying with us at the Kachemak Bay Campus of Kenai Peninsula College. KPC offers *in-state tuition* for all US students, and many internships include free or significantly reduced housing with our community-partner agencies (USFWS, NOAA, KBNERR, AMNWR, Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies, Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game, Kachemak Bay Land Trust).
Internships still available for Spring 22.
