Hi All,
Registration is now open for Fall 2026. The University of Florida Aquatic 
Animal Health Program is offering two fully online, three-credit courses:

  *   Aquatic Wildlife Health
  *   Aquatic Animal Conservation Issues
Fall classes begin Thursday, August 20, and continue through Wednesday, 
December 2. Registration will remain open through Monday, August 24.

Aquatic Wildlife Health is offered at both the undergraduate and graduate 
levels:

  *   VME 4013: Undergraduate
  *   VME 6011: Graduate
This three-credit course introduces upper-level undergraduate students, 
graduate students, and professionals with an associate degree or higher to the 
natural history, anatomy, physiology, behavior, and common health issues of 
aquatic species. Topics include whales and dolphins, seals and sea lions, 
manatees, sea turtles, crocodilians, fish, and invertebrates.

Aquatic Animal Conservation Issues is also offered at both the undergraduate 
and graduate levels:

  *   VME 4012: Undergraduate
  *   VME 6010: Graduate
This three-credit course examines controversial conservation issues affecting 
aquatic animals and ecosystems. Although the course emphasizes marine mammals, 
it also addresses sea turtles, fisheries, invertebrates, and broader marine 
ecosystem concerns.

Participants do not need to be currently enrolled at a college or university to 
register. Eligible students and professionals may participate from within the 
United States or internationally.

Students who wish to apply these credits toward a degree or academic program at 
another institution should consult with their home institution in advance to 
confirm whether the credits will be accepted and how they may apply to their 
program requirements.

Dr. Iske Larkin
