The Dauphin Island Sea Lab is now accepting enrollment in its 2009 summer courses for students of its consortium members, which includes Auburn University. Three sessions are available: May 18-29, June 1-July 3 and July 6-Aug. 7. Located on a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, the Dauphin Island Sea Lab offers a variety of intensive marine science courses taught by experienced educators and scientists. Established in 1971 by the state legislature, the lab is a consortium of 21 four-year Alabama colleges and universities and is considered the marine science campus for these institutions of higher learning. Auburn’s advisor is Alumni Professor Ken Halanych, Department of Biological Sciences, who serves as a Sea Lab Program committee member.
