A research team from the College of Marine Sciences at the University of Basra conducted a field trip to Iraqi territorial waters and the entrance to Khor Abdullah. This trip aimed to enhance the practical and research aspects of the academic curriculum and connect it to real-world applications.

The trip saw active participation from postgraduate students and was supervised by professors and instructors from the Department of Applied Marine Sciences at the college.

The trip aimed to provide students with practical training in marine sampling techniques using established scientific methods, measuring environmental, physical, and chemical indicators of the water, and studying biodiversity and marine environmental characteristics in the entrance to Khor Abdullah and Iraqi territorial waters. This will contribute to enriching their research careers with essential field experience.
