Introduction to the Biology of Sharks, Skates, and Rays - Section 2

Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates, and rays) are the subjects of numerous headlines and blockbuster movies, but what do we really know about them? Join us for the opportunity to learn and separate the myths from the reality to better understand these fascinating animals. During this course, you will find opportunities to immerse yourself in the study of marine science, elasmobranch biology, and conservation, and put your scientific knowledge and experiences into action while learning to look at the world around you from new perspectives. Expect dissections and boat-based exercises! SML courses combine laboratory work and field work to expose students to real-world marine science. This course is a university level course, designed for advanced high school students. Students will earn one Cornell University credit.
