HSU Marine Laboratory
In the coastal town of Trinidad, not far from the main campus, students majoring in Fisheries Biology, Oceanography, and Biological Sciences take classes, test experiments and work on research projects at the University's marine laboratory.
The laboratory has a circulating seawater system, lecture rooms and labs for biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, geological oceanography, marine biological sciences, mariculture and fisheries instruction and student research.
