Discovering marine science on the wild wet coast; Ambrose University Zoology students share their field trip adventure!

Kelps from wave-swept shores have either a streamlined morphology to reduce drag, or increased attachment and breakage force, but not both, having implications for the evolution of morphological diversity in this group.

BMSC is gearing up for another season of Field Trips, with the first group arriving on the weekend.
