Marine Environmental Education
Exploring California Underwater Ecosystems: Virtual & In-person
This spring we are diving into the underwater world of California through a series of live online classes designed for students ages ten through seventeen. Together we explore kelp forests, seagrass meadows, coastal food webs, and the community science programs that help protect our ocean. Students get a real look at how divers, snorkelers, and shoreline observers collect data and how new ocean technology is changing the way we study marine life.
Students who complete the required classes can join us for an optional field science day on Catalina Island, where we will snorkel through the kelp forest, complete a REEF fish survey, and conduct an MPA Watch survey at Casino Point. It is an exciting way to bring everything learned online into the real world and to experience one of the most beautiful marine locations in California.
Day: Mondays, Online
Time: 6:30 - 7:30
Age: Recommended for ages 10-17
Location: Online, Field Day in Catalina
