Sea World UCLA , operated by a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain, is a long-range research vessel that provides an ideal platform for marine research in the Southern California Bight and for transport and living quarters for terrestrial research on the Channel Islands. The aft hold has been modified for use as a dry lab. Benches and tables on the upper deck accommodate 16 students for activities that require writing.
White boards are available for lectures in the dry lab and on the upper deck.
Cruise schedules, cruise tracks and equipment will be tailored to specific needs of researchers and instructors.
