LEWISTON – The Acadia Institute of Oceanography in Seal Harbor has announced that Daniel Fournier of Lewiston, who will enter the seventh grade this fall, will attend a summer session in marine studies from Aug. 9 to 22.

He is the son of Daniel R. and Janice Fournier and was recommended for admittance to the program by Suzanne Whitney.

The program is a full field-study of tidal pools, estuaries, saltmarshes, sand beaches and off-shore sampling. All phases of oceanography are explored. Laboratory facilities provide space and instrumentation for special marine projects.

It is hoped that the students attending will enter careers in marine biology, fisheries’ management, marine advisory and related fields that are responsive to the ocean resources.
