Greetings to fish listers.

Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) offers many college credit courses  
relevant to ichthyologists and fisheries biologists. We feature small  
class sizes and an experiential learning environment where everyone  
learns by first-hand observation. The close-knit community we create  
each summer on Appledore Island gives SML the feeling of a residential  
college, where even a casual conversation with a faculty member or  
teaching assistant can turn into a life-changing one. Being on an  
offshore island also means that every class includes adventure and  
learning opportunities far beyond any normal classroom. We still have  
openings in each of the courses listed below, but our March 28  
deadline for applicants seeking financial aid is fast approaching.  
Please take a minute to review some of our exciting offerings and call  
them to the attention of students - and plan to join us on Appledore  
Island this summer!
