Course Description: WHAT? Marine Science, Ocean Arts: Interdisciplinary, Intertidal, Interdependent. An integrative interactive WORKSHOP to address the ocean emergency together. Participants will acquire rigorous skills in scientific and arts inquiry and expression, will pursue individual and collaborative interdisciplinary projects, and will emerge with a showcase work. Bring a project or idea to develop, or be inspired to start a new one.

WHY? Because science alone is not enough to address the ocean emergency. Collaborating with environmental artists deepens our embodied and emotionally intelligent understanding and communication of the issues that are most important to us.

WHO? This experiential workshop is co-facilitated by Dr. Marjorie Wonham (marine biology) and Dr. Astrida Neimanis (environmental arts). Participants are biologists, artists, and interdiscipoinary practitioners and scholars. They are faculty, researchers, educators, and graduate students. Advanced undergraduates may also apply.

WHEN? July 6-27, 2025

WHERE? Friday Harbor Laboratories, Salish Sea, USA.
