There's no better place to study marine science and ecology than Australia, home of the Great Barrier Reef and the less-known Ningaloo Reef. The sparkling blue waters, colorful coral, and lush green islands that make up the Great Barrer Reef's vast marine environment are what makes the Reef one of the seven wonders of the natural world. The Ningaloo Reef rests right off the west coast of Australia and contains nearly as much diversity with considerably less development and human impact.

These reefs easily make up the world's greatest laboratories for studying unique marine life. Plus, by studying at established research stations, you'll receive a hands-on learning experience that cannot be duplicated in a classroom or on any tourist expedition. AustraLearn currently runs several different summer programs in Marine Science that takes full advantage of these natural learning environments.
