Deep Dive into the Deep Sea

The course, "Exploring the Deep Sea," is a science-focused module that examines the mysterious and largely unexplored deep-sea environment. It investigates the diverse range of organisms that inhabit this harsh ecosystem, from predatory tunicates to whale bone worms, and the ecosystems they thrive in, such as sponge reefs and wood falls. The course also delves into the unique adaptations these life forms possess that enable them to survive in the deep sea. The curriculum is designed to accommodate higher-level students with deeper exploration of the material.
