Equipment & Resources
The Marine Science Consortium maintains a variety of research vessels and a large inventory of field equipment for use by our college and precollege groups.
Research Vessels
MSC has two monitor boats, the R.V. Flatfish and R.V. Mollusk. Both are approximately 45 ft in length and are used primarily in the tidal creeks and back bay ares for trawling and sampling.
The R.V. Phillip N. Parker is a 47ft diesel powered crew vessel used mostly for cruises beyond the inlet and up to 25 miles off shore.
MSC also maintains a fleet of kayaks that allow access to cypress swamps, shallow tidal creeks and flats, and other areas that our motorized vessels cannot go.
Vans & Buses
MSC has a fleet of 15 passenger vans and buses that are used to transport students from the campus to various field sites.
