| When : | September 5th to 11th, 2004 | |
| Where : | CiCiMar, La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico | |
| What : | An eight day course in the biology of sharks. There will be lectures, hands on dissections of large animals, lessons in skeletal preparation, demonstration dissections of difficult anatomy, visits to artisanal shark fishing camps, and snorkeling trips. The course is limited to 10 international students and approximately the same number from Mexican institutions. In addition to the three primary instructors there will be two teaching assistants studying sharks for their PhD, so every student will have a great deal of personalized attention. | |
