On this bay adventure, you’ll participate in a variety of activities performed by marine biologists as you trawl the waters of the bay to learn about its biology and ecology. You’ll help bring in, then study, finfish, and invertebrates. You’ll do a benthic grab sample to examine the type of bay bottom and collect a water sample from below the surface. We’ll keep an eye out for migratory birds and waterfowl that inhabit the region at this time of year. We’ll cruise along areas of the salt marsh and flats that are not visible by land and hopefully witness the activities of a variety of wildlife. Bring binoculars and a light snack.
