The University of the West Indies St. Augustine, Trinidad & Tobago with its four campusses is the result of cooperation and combined efforts of 17 states and territories in the Caribbean. The Trinidad branch was founded in 1960 and is home for the School of Natural Sciences. Therefore, St. Augustine makes for another tropical location in our network, and currently the only one in the tropical Atlantic. The Caribbean with its high biodiversity is a rewarding field of exploration for GAME, and we’re very happy to have a cooperative partner here since 2008. GAME on Trinidad is tutored by Dr Judith Gobin.

The University of Bangor, including its marine biological research facilities, is situated on the Isle of Anglesey near the Menai Strait, a natural channel segregating the island from the British mainland. A rocky shore with considerable tidal range creates extensive and easily accessible areas for the researching biologist or student. GAME at this site is tutored by Dr Stuart Jenkins.
