THE BAY CAMPUS AND WICKFORD: SPECIALIZED PLACES OF STUDY These two smaller campuses are the location of the Schools of Oceanography and Fisheries, respectively. The Narraganssett Bay campus, located right on the Bay about fifteen minutes from Kingston, is the base of research and exploration of marine affairs and ecology. Students get on-hand experience as they learn, and the department works closely with the State Department and Environmental Protection Agency. The campus in Wickford is the home of the School of Fisheries and Marine Technology, where a few dedicated students learn the ins and outs of net-making, fishing and sailing techniques, effects of current and marine variables on marine life, and maintenance and repairs of their working fishing vessel. 1 8
