The students participating were Kelly Brittin, Matt Collins, Cassie Harashe, Jessica Howard, and Brandon Runyon. While two days were spent on the road, the other three days were spent at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab learning about estuaries, barrier islands, oceanography, and coastal environments.
Dauphin Island is a barrier island that separates the Gulf of Mexico from Mobile Bay.
The Sea Lab is a former Coast Guard facility that has been turned into a research and educational center that is used by elementary and secondary schools, colleges and universities.
