Training solution-oriented scientists by immersing students in applied fisheries research
The Fisheries, Aquatic Science, & Technology (FAST) Lab, located at Alaska Pacific University (APU) in Anchorage, Alaska, employs APU’s unique blend of intensive and traditional coursework with applied fisheries research to engage students in active learning. Our approach, based on a training-through-service-philosophy, is to immerse undergraduate and graduate students in real fisheries and marine science research projects.
