By Justine Frederiksen udjjf@ukiahdj.com @justfrederiksen on Twitter For more than 30 years, Mendocino College biology professor Alan West has been taking students to a very special classroom on the rugged Mendocino Coast. Tucked away behind a locked gate just north of the City of Point Arena, the college's Point Arena Field Station includes rooms for lectures, lab work and even a kitchen and sleeping quarters for visiting students. What really makes the classroom special, however, are the tidepools just a short walk down the bluffs from the buildings. "These are pristine study areas," West said of the approximately 15-acre property, explaining that the former U.S. Coast Guard station was transferred to the college in the 1980s, and the very limited foot traffic has reverted the area to its natural state, allowing many plant and animal species that can't live elsewhere to thrive. "Students from U.C. Berkeley were just here, and they found 100 species of algae," he said. "It is a remarkable place." Four times a semester, West takes his marine biology students on field trips to the station, picking times when the tides are low and more of the tidepools can be reached and explored. "I love teaching the … Continue reading →
