| Objectives | C-270B served as an introduction for 14 academic colleagues to SEA Semester programs and to what it is like to live and work on the ocean. It included lectures, discussions, demonstrations, and active participation in oceanography, nautical science, and maritime studies. All participants served as full, working members of the scientific team and sailing crew while onboard. They stood watches and contributed to round-the-clock operations on deck including sail handling and navigation, and in the laboratory deploying oceanographic sampling gear, collecting data, and processing samples. A number of SEA Semester alumni sailed as staff, and were able to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and describe their own experience and what they learned during their SEA Semester programs. |
