Current:Research & Teaching Facilities

The Department of Biological Sciences has a number of specialized facilities that our graduate students and faculty use for research. These facilities include:

Camaquiri Conservation Initiative

The Camaquiri Conservation Initiative is focused on rainforest education, research, and conservation in the neotropics. It includes a biological field station in northeastern Costa Rica that serves as a base for teaching and research by ESU students and faculty, and students and faculty from around the world. The station, which has been operating for the past 5 years, consists of 200 ha (500 acres), much of which remains as primary lowland/swamp forest. There is a well-marked and maintained trail system and facilities that include a cafeteria, student cabins, classrooms, and a laboratory with field equipment and a small library.

Aquaculture Laboratory

aquatic lab ESU’s new state-of-the-art Aquaculture Laboratory, located on the ground floor of the Science & Technology Center, is used for teaching and research in marine and freshwater biology. It has tanks for coral propagation, tropical and temperate marine organisms, and freshwater organisms, and includes a Berlin Reef system, a Jaubert (Monaco) system, marine ornamentals, freshwater aquatics, and feeding and rearing systems. This new facility is used by several ESU classes, including Aquaculture and Marine Biology, and also for student research by ESU undergraduates and graduate students.
