Meeting Location: Mizell-Johnson State Park, 6503 N Ocean Dr, Dania Beach, FL 33004. 
We will be meeting at the Marina Pavilion located on the west side of the park. Upon entering the park, follow the signs to the marina. There will be a left turn into the marina parking lot about 1 mile after the park entrance. When you enter the marina parking lot, the paved path to the Marina Pavilion is in the northwest corner of the parking lot, just left of the boat ramps.
Entrance Fee: None.

Kayak Rental: Saltwater Studies will be paying to rent kayaks for all registered students. If parents are kayaking with their students, they will need to pay for their own kayak rental. The park charges $30 (plus tax) for up 1.5 hours of kayak rental for a single kayak and $40 (plus tax) for a double kayak.

 

Class Topic

This month we will be discussing sea slugs. We will spend the morning discussing the topic and reviewing the homework assignment. Students must bring their notes from their completed homework assignment with them to class so that they can participate in the class discussion.
