Students explore Australia's Marine Environment

23 April 2012

Students enrolled in MARS2005 Australia's Marine Environment are given the opportunity to explore Heron Island and its surrounding coral reefs.

In April this year, 30 students embarked on a study of the island's marine eco-system while based at the Heron Island Research Station.

MARS2005 Australia's Marine Environment is offered to science and non-science students.

Students interested in taking this course should check with their Faculty if it can be credited towards their program. The course is pre-approved for Study Abroad and Exchange students.
