Belfast Area High School students in the Marine Studies class of Lisa White and Chip Lagerbom have been doing plankton net collections at the Belfast Town Dock and then identifying and studying the phytoplankton and zooplankton types collected.

 

They have also been working in the pool with the school's ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle) mastering the controls and learning how to pilot and navigate the vehicle.

 

Marine Studies students have also been exploring local maritime-related history and economics and ocean science in this semester-long elective.
