What is the Concordia Marine Lab?

海洋实验室成立于2014年，主要有三个目的，为教育推广提供宝贵的资源, Undergraduate Classes, and Student and Faculty Research. The Marine Lab facility consists of a ~2,000加仑的海水循环系统，包括十几个不同的水族馆，每个水族馆的容量从50到400加仑不等，是50多种温带海洋生物(主要是当地物种)的家园，从水母到鲨鱼. The Marine Lab is directed by Dr. Sean Bignami, who holds a PhD in Marine Biology and Fisheries, is an Associate Professor of Biology, and the Biology Department Chair. 该实验室主要由学生志愿者运营，并由大学和院系共同资助, external grants, and individual donations.

Student Spotlight

Noah Kolander '19

Spending his summers on dairy farms and horse ranches, Noah envisioned a career as a large animal veterinarian. However, on his first day at Concordia, his plans changed. 他认为海洋实验室点燃了他对海洋生物学的热情，并引导他走上了一条意想不到的、令人兴奋的职业道路.

Outreach

Approximately 20,000 Community Members Served!

康考迪亚海洋实验室外展计划的目标是提高学生的海洋素养, teachers, and the general public in Orange County. Ocean Literacy is defined by the Ocean Literacy Campaign 了解海洋对你的影响，以及你对海洋的影响. The Marine Lab offers no-cost 向公立学校和免费社区活动提供教育移动触摸水箱和海洋科学课程. 我们也为学费驱动的机构和活动提供这些项目, but request a modest donation to support our outreach activities. 我们还为参观康科迪亚的团体提供现场教育项目, including lab tours for members of the community. 移动触摸坦克程序和课程是不同的观众年龄/年级, can be customized to fit into individual classroom curricula, 并符合《菲律宾十大网赌网站》和《菲律宾十大网赌网站》. 外展项目得到了加州海岸委员会的支持, Orange County Community Foundation, Concordia Alumni Association, Concordia Biology Department, and those served by our programs. 自2016年初以来，这些项目已经为大约2万名社区成员提供了服务!

Research Projects

康考迪亚海洋实验室支持由学生和教师进行的海洋科学研究, 包括与班级相关的和独立的项目，从微生物学到水产养殖科学.

Pismo Clam Ecology

Since 2017, 我们一直致力于评估皮斯莫蛤(Tivela stultorum)的种群状况。, a native species unique to California and Baja California. 我们的学生和教师也扩展了这项研究，以调查有关该物种生态学的一些问题, behavior, physiology, and potential for aquaculture. The project has been reported in the media，我们的数据已经在研讨会上发表，并在加州鱼类和野生动物部发表 Pismo clam Enhanced Status Report这篇论文已被《菲律宾十大网赌网站》接受发表. 点击下面的链接，观看一些学生和教师关于这项研究的演讲:
