Shoals Marine Laboratory

Shoals Marine Laboratory offers summer-credit courses and internships in areas ranging from marine biology to sustainable engineering. The island campus includes labs equipped with microscopes and flow-through seawater for maintaining organisms. The island’s “green grid” incorporates a wind turbine and solar photovoltaic array, making it a site for sustainable engineering projects as well as field studies in marine and intertidal ecology, migratory bird banding, and other biological research.
