🌿 Live Marine Life Demonstration – Observe local crabs and other sea life up close as we pull a sample dredge from the creek bed into our onboard touch tank.

🦪 Oyster Experiment- Discover the power of oysters as a cleaning agent in our marsh as we use the scientific method to make hypotheses, observe oysters in action, and come to conclusions about the importance of oysters throughout the trip.
