PLYMOUTH

Plymouth is a port city located in Devon, England.  The city is enclosed by the mouths of the River Plym and River Tamar which feed into the Plymouth Sound.  The Plymouth Sound and the Tamar Estuary host some of Europe’s most threatened marine species and habitats, and as such they are Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).

Our field courses explores some of these habitats in the rivers, estuaries, and offshore with a purpose to understand the biological, chemical, and physical aspects of these local environments.
