Baja Programs

Whale Ecology: This course provides a unique opportunity to assist with international conservation efforts in a World Heritage Site. During your course, you’ll focus on the grey whale. You’ll help conduct surveys to gather important baseline data about the whales in the area and help establish a photo-ID database.

Marine Science: On Espiritu Santo Island, you’ll conduct snorkel counts of echinoderms, including the crown of thorns sea star. You’ll develop a field-based research project using data you collect. With EPI, you’ll meet local eco club members to learn more about resource limitations in Baja and steps the local community is taking to find solutions.

Desert and Coastal Ecology: You’ll explore the desert ecosystems of Baja, observing the flora and fauna that call the region home. Practice your snorkeling skills, conduct an underwater invertebrate census, and contribute to a coral reef restoration project.
