Participants will be provided with a guided tour of the shallow waters of a coastal mangrove swamp. The tour will begin with a discussion of the local marine environment including visual aids depicting species commonly seen throughout the area. Participants will then head to the water where hand nets and buckets will be used to collect and view specimens such as crabs, sea urchins, jellies and fish. Please come prepared to get wet!
This event will be led by Christa Jewett, a marine biologist with a B.S. and M.S. in marine biology and 25 years of experience in the field.
