Discover first-hand why estuaries are known as “the cradles of the ocean” and take a refreshing journey into the waters of Estero Bay. Wade into mudflats and seagrass beds at low tide to find many of the plants and animals that call this estuary home. Special nets will be provided for participants to collect fish, shrimp, crabs, snails and other organisms. Participants will have the chance to take a closer look at these fascinating creatures with magnifiers and learn how each living creature plays an important role in the ecosystem.
Participants must wear closed-toe shoes (Please note that shoes worn will get wet and muddy, so old tennis shoes or diving booties are the recommended footwear).
