Intro to Hawaiian Coral Reefs at it's best!

Introducing the new UHH Marine Science logo.

Designed by our student, Amber Forrestal. The he'e, or octopus, embraces the Big Island in a protective grip. Hidden within the design are the two volcanoes, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, threadfin butterfly fish, manini, and a honu. The tentacles of the he'e are lined with shark teeth and ocean waves.

T-shirts, rashguards and hoodies are available for purchase in MSB 119.

Support the Marine Science Department in style!

The schedule for Summer 2012 courses has been posted.

Note that MARE 250 - Statistics will be offered this summer! We anticipate that the section next fall will be very full, so if you're around this summer and can fit MARE 250 into your summer, it would be a great idea.

There are also several other excellent MARE classes being offered, including some that are not (ever) offered during the regular academic year, and some others that are for non-majors (so tell your friends)!
