As part of the Beaches to Woodlands Tour, this event is one of many
throughout Santa Rosa County that will showcase the coastal and
natural areas of our county. Local high school students enrolled in
classes at the station will present many hands-on activities such as:
shark senses, marine debris, fish painting, shell identification, sea
turtles, and more!
In addition, environmental education activities and displays will be
provided by local organizations, agencies, and schools. Participants will
be able to tour the Marine Science Station and learn about
opportunities of how they can support the station. Several displays will
focus on various issues such as protecting area waterways and coastal
habitats. Information on sharks, water safety, disaster preparedness
and other local environmental issues will be included. Learn about live
marine critters at the touch tank, experience kayaking and fishing.
