Seabird Conservation Course: May 14th - June 29, 2012.

This summer, join biologists and environmental educators at National Audubon's Seabird Restoration Program (Project Puffin) for an action-packed course in seabird biology and conservation in some of the most beautiful locations on the east coast.

In this 7-week hands-on course you will learn techniques that brought puffins back to their historic breeding range and work within a model island system that has inspired restoration projects for 49 seabird species in 14 countries.  Students will live in tents and cabins on remote islands in the Gulf of Maine. Permission of instructor required for participation.

4 biology credits. No prerequisites.  Non-biology majors are encouraged to apply.
