Room left in Marine Mammal Course

[Orca_lover]

This is a great course held on the Bay of Fundy which we all know holds the record for the highest tides in the world!

You will learn about all aspects of marine mammals in a small classroom setting with plenty of one-to-one time with knowledgeable staff and teachers, as well as have many opportunities to see the whales first hand!

Field trips include local boat rides in Passamaquoddy Bay where you will see harbour and grey seals, fin whales, harbour porpoise, etc. On a day trip to Grand Manan Island at the mouth of the Bay of Fundy you will see Right Whales and Humpbacks. There is always a chance to see something spectacular - last year we had a basking shark come right up to us!

Please spread the news!

Well if someone will give me $1800 plus transport and accomodation I'd be more than happy to go... :(

I know that's tough, trust me. I worked my butt off one summer to raise $3000 to go to Bonaire for a Tropical Marine Bio course. This is the time to do it!

If only I could. :(

Well, gotta work my butt off then!
