A06 Marine Science Camp
with Ms. Ferguson

Marine Science Campers will venture to several local beaches and estuaries where we will spend the morning beachcombing and dip netting.  As we find evidence of aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates, we will spend time observing them in their natural habitats, taking their pictures, and identifying the marine creatures we discover.  We will also learn about a variety of aquatic plants and protists and develop a biodiversity index based on our findings.  Since our explorations are outdoors, plan to be in the sun for 2-3 hours each morning.  Wear a hat, sunscreen, and clothes/shoes that protect your skin and can get wet.  Bring plenty of drinking water and your insatiable curiosity for the natural world!  (Ms. Ferguson has her FWC/FEMSEA Aquatic Species Collection License)
