The *Semester by the Bay* program in Homer, Alaska at University of Alaska Anchorage-Kenai Peninsula College-Kachemak Bay Campus has a few opportunities left for the Fall 2017 semester. Undergraduate courses in marine biology (marine mammals, seabirds, fishes, tide pool invertebrates, etc.) offer students numerous unique hands-on, experiential learning opportunities in the lab and field, such as behavioral ecology of beluga whales, sea otters, and harbor seals, acoustics of harbor porpoises, marine mammal skeletal articulation/museum preparation, marine debris assessment, seining and identification of estuarine fishes, behavior of seabirds at island rookeries, among others. In addition, most students participate in community-based internships and/or volunteer opportunities with governmental or non-governmental researchers while studying with us. Internships in the fields of marine and coastal biology and marine mammals that offer free housing are still available! *This opportunity is reserved for undergraduates.* Interested juniors and seniors should submit an application of interest.
