This is an experiential learning class that explores environmental issues related to freshwater and marine environments in the Pacific Northwest. The course combines nearly 24 hours of class and field experience over the course of a single weekend excursion (Friday evening to Sunday evening) with limited additional meeting hours before and after the trip for preparation and reflection. The issues considered in each course offering will vary, but may include water quality and pollution, hydropower, water consumption and agriculture, water availability and conservation, water rights, marine species protection, and climate change.
