Details:

Ecology Project International is offering a Costa Rica Sea Turtle
Ecology Program to students in the Bay Area. While on-course,
students will monitor a population of critically endangered
leatherback sea turtles on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica in
collaboration with sea turtle biologists and local Costa Rican
communities. This is an amazing opportunity to assist with authentic
research and be active in international conservation efforts. The
12-day course includes over 50 hours coursework and instruction with
20 hours of field research. While at the sea turtle nesting area,
every student develops and presents a field-based research project.
