Flagler students take on environmental issues in Belize during study abroad
From Staff
As global warming and carbon footprints become part of the national vocabulary, Flagler College liberal arts students spent the summer exploring new approaches to environmental issues.
Take Assistant Professor Barbara Blonder’s class trip to Belize, for example. This summer, the natural science coordinator taught her students about sustainable fisheries, environmental protection versus economic development and more. They learned by field research, scuba diving and talking to coastal residents of the Central American country.
