The Marine Biology and Invertebrate Biology classes, taught by Professors Pat Reynolds and Ashleigh Smythe, respectively, explored the diversity and ecology of marine habitats along the Connecticut and Rhode Island shores during the weekend of Sept. 27 and 28. The several habitats studied included the rocky shore at Weekapaug, R.I., and the salt marsh and mudflat at Barn Island, Conn., and pelagic and demersal habitats while at sea on Long Island Sound. The classes were joined in the field work by Prof. Damhnait McHugh (Colgate, Mellon Visitor at Hamilton F'09) and Prof. Jim Carlton, Director of the Williams-Mystic Maritime Studies Program.
