| Environmental Club of BCC (Melbourne) |
Professor Scott Herber of Brevard Community College brought the Environmental Club of BCC's Melbourne campus to KML for the school's inaugural visit. Students had an excellent opportunity to get a first hand look at the ecology of the Florida Keys coral reefs ecosystem. Students were also able to compare and contrast the mangrove systems of the Indian River Lagoon, near BCC, with those of the Florida Keys giving them a unique insight into the aquatic ecological diversity of Florida. Although not all students were initially comfortable immersing themselves in the marine environment by the end of their trip, with the help of Professor Herber and KML staff, all students took the plunge. Professor Herber plans to continue bringing groups of students from BCC to KML in the future.
