Overview

The study of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences is dedicated to sustaining healthy marine and freshwater environments. It has a wide focus from the organism to the ecosystem scale. Students will examine human-induced effects on ecosystems, such as habitat change and restoration, climate change and effects of invasive species on marine and freshwater ecosystems.

TCC offers courses that cover the first two years of a typical 4-year Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences program, as well as courses to develop skills needed for college-level courses. This degree (with the four-year bachelor’s degree) prepares students for a wide range of careers, including salmon hatchery technician, marine or freshwater technician, stream technician, teacher, ecologist, marine biologist and many others.
