A six-week marine biology program introduces young adults to marine science at Forfar Field Station on Andros Island. International Field Studies is a nonprofit educational and scientific organization founded in 1970, offering experiential field programs for schools, universities, scientists, and other groups. Its programs include week-long field studies in The Bahamas for middle school, high school, and university groups, as well as one-week introductory marine biology programs. Guided educational group tours serve solo and small-group travelers visiting the Exumas Islands, Hawaii, and other destinations. The organization also facilitates continental and international trips. Programs focus on environmental education, conservation stewardship, and cultural awareness, with field instructors and planning support available to educators and group leaders.
