What Lurks Beneath

What kind of marine life is found in our local bays? Join a ranger to find out!

We'll use a seine net to sample and check on the health of St. Charles Bay, and work to identify the critters we bring in! If you would like the chance to help a ranger with sampling, participants MUST where close-toed shoes (no Crocs). Our samples from the bay will then go into touch tanks so we can all take a closer look.

Where: Meet at Day Use.
Bring: Close-toed shoes, bug spray, sun protection (hat, long sleeve shirt, sunblock), and drinking water, and a towel to dry off.
