Students will learn the basics of estuarine ecology and how to use a seine net to sample Narragansett Bay’s rich abundance of life. We’ll identify and discuss each species we catch. Students will get wet, so extra water shoes are a must, and a change of clothes is recommended.

Feel free to bring a picnic lunch to eat before the program, and consider staying for the Discovery Hike at Norman Bird Sanctuary earlier in the day.
