Saltwater Studies offers both secular and biblically-based events. For secular events, discussion will focus on biological information. Biblically-based events will open in prayer and discussion will include how we can see the character of God in Creation as discussed in Romans 1:20. These events close with a time of praise for God’s blessings during the field trip.
Participants will be given an overview of marine species commonly seen in South Florida’s reef systems. After a brief introduction, participants will be led along an artificial reef system and snorkel tour in the crystal blue waters adjacent to Phil Foster Park in the Intracoastal Waterway.

Participants will enjoy a guided snorkel in the crystal blue waters off the beach at Coral Cove Park. This area has limestone formations that extend from the beach underwater, creating a unique marine habitat for a variety of fish, crustaceans and mollusks. The waters just offshore are a great location for collecting sea shells, spotting reef fish and maybe even a stone crab or two.
Participants will enjoy a guided snorkel along a series of artificial reefs. Highlights of this trip include beautiful water, a variety of marine life and numerous sea shells.
