Ocean Explorer Academy - Week 4: Animal Adaptations

Project Oceanology • 1084 Shennecossett Rd GrotonCT  06340 Organized by Project Oceanology

About this event

Animal Adaptations Campers will collect and observe animals from Long Island Sound and discover how they are adapted to find food and protect themselves from predators! Embark on a scientific adventure as you explore Long Island Sound’s rocky shores, salt marshes, barrier beaches, and more! Discover the vital role habitats play in our coastal ecosystems by using scientific instruments such as trawl nets, seine nets, plankton nets, and water chemistry kits. Back at Project Oceanology, we’ll reinforce what we have learned through games, art projects, and scientific experiments. On Friday, the last day of camp, families are invited to come out aboard the R/V EnviroLab for an afternoon cruise so that their campers can share the knowledge and skills they have gained.
