Alabama's Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) will offer a twelve-week, fall semester, research experience for seven undergraduate students interested in pursuing careers in the marine sciences. Located on Dauphin Island in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico south of Mobile, Alabama, the DISL provides courses and research facilities for undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty from 22 colleges and universities in Alabama and visitors from throughout the U.S. The setting also permits students transfer research knowledge to K-12 students and the public through the Discovery Hall Programs at the lab. Participants in the undergraduate research program will design, implement and report on independent laboratory and research projects within an active research and education program. Students will be matched with appropriate faculty who will guide student in their research projects. Research areas include, for example: the ecology of early life history stages of! marine and estuarine fishes; coral reef ecology; the role of microorganisms in cycling of organic and inorganic matter in the marine environment; phytoplankton and zooplankton ecology; the evolution of benthic communities; the role of biomechanics and hydrodynamics in the ecology and evolution of benthic communities; and plant-animal interactions in seagrass ecosystems. The program seeks to attract and retain talented students in the sciences by providing exposure to, and interaction with, strong role models in a robust academic and research setting.

亚拉巴马的多芬岛海洋实验室（DISL）将为七名有兴趣从事海洋科学职业的本科生提供为期12周的秋季学期研究经验。位于海豚岛在墨西哥湾东北部南部的移动的，亚拉巴马，DISL提供课程和研究设施，本科生，研究生和教师从22所学院和大学在亚拉巴马和游客从整个美国的设置还允许学生转移研究知识K-12学生和公众通过探索厅计划在实验室。本科研究项目的参与者将在活跃的研究和教育项目中设计、实施和报告独立实验室和研究项目。学生将与适当的教师谁将指导学生在他们的研究项目相匹配。研究领域包括，例如：生态学的早期生活史阶段！海洋和河口鱼类;珊瑚礁生态;微生物在海洋环境中有机和无机物质循环中的作用;浮游植物和浮游动物生态学;底栖生物群落的演变;生物力学和流体动力学在底栖生物群落的生态学和演变中的作用;海草生态系统中的动植物相互作用。该计划旨在通过在强大的学术和研究环境中提供接触和互动，吸引和留住有才华的学生。
