MARINE SCIENCE FILM FINALISTS
Marin Catholic alumnus & Marine Biology teacher Joe Ward ’94 has long encouraged his students to work outside the classroom from exploring the bay’s ecosystem with marine scientists via a research vessel to sampling invertebrate and algal phyla that are found in the tide pools at Duxbury Reef.
Each semester, students complete hands-on semester projects about any marine topic of their choice. Along with the research component to this project, students are required to get outside and really get their feet "wet." In addition to a written paper, students are required to make a 5-minute video summarizing their project which Mr. Ward encourages them to enter into the Student Film Competition for the International Ocean Film Festival.
This past year’s festival received 98 submissions, from 4 countries and 5 states from the United States. 15 finalists were selected including MC Biology students Leyla Spositto ’17, Ryan Crivello ’17, and Nick Eberhard ’18!
