I always emphasize a hands-on experience for students.  Getting direct experience with the ocean, both at-sea and on shore, is critical to the learning experience.  And luckily this is a benefit we can readily enjoy here in California.   Some of the hands-on learning opportunities for my students are:

• Cool boat trips to get at-sea experience
• Field trips to Catalina and other key habitats
• Tropical Ecology Course in Costa Rica
• Relevant lab work that ties it all together

See the photos below, and in the gallery, for examples of the above. 

In addition to classwork, each year I sponsor a few students for senior thesis projects.  Here's a list of prior Senior Thesis Students and some of their research projects.
