Our Programs Correlate With The State Science Standards and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) Fields Of Study.

Sea Turtle Science: Dive into the fascinating life history of the loggerhead sea turtle with a sea turtle biologist. After an introduction to sea turtle biology and conservation, students will become the biologists as they learn how to "read" a turtle crawl to locate the eggs for protection from predators. For an in-class experience, students will use a dichotomous key to perform species identification. Program time 90 minutes. $15 per person.

Barrier Island Adventure: Explore the components of a barrier island by foot or boat.
