Bayside Adventures Marine Program (7-9yr)
Description

"Bayside Adventures is a 5-day immersive science program where students delve into the multidisciplinary realm of Marine Science. They learn to formulate and test scientific questions, conduct experiments, measure environmental parameters, and record data. The unique proximity of Tiana Bayside to both the ocean and bay provides a unique opportunity for students to explore various marine habitats such as salt marshes, eelgrass meadows, mud flats, and dunes. Activities include seining for local fish, hiking through coastal environments, bird watching, identifying local species, microscopic specimen viewing, restoring marine plant environments, and incorporating art and creativity into observational learning. Each student actively cares for their own fish tank throughout the week. To participate, students must be capable swimmers, comfortable wading in water, and physically able to engage in seining.

Our Tiana summer programs are made possible in part by Back to the Bays, an initiative of Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program. Bayside Adventures involves participants in the core efforts of our year-round Stewardship Program, caring for the local environment and contributing to hands-on habitat and shellfish restoration efforts."
