This program provides an opportunity for students to learn how they directly impact their local coastal environment. Students learn about watershed pollution, have up- close encounters with marine animals and participate in a beach clean-up.
Tide-dependent program (This program is most effective during low-tide days and also depends on bird nesting periods. See available dates here.)
Program Length: 4 hours, 9:30am- 1:30pm
PLEASE PREPARE YOUR STUDENTS
We have chosen one lesson for you to do with your students before you come, titled STOP POINTLESS POLLUTION so they will have the optimal experience when they are here. Please use it to prepare your students. Please teach the second lesson, titled ADOPT A STREET PROGRAM within a week of completing your Coastal Education Program to expand on the material learned during the Beautify the Bay Program. Also have your students sign the MY PERSONAL PLEDGE! There are many more resources for you and your students listed below as well!
Plan of Day:
Your students will be able to participate in the Beautify the Bay Lesson, a Docent-led Tour around the Living Coast to see birds, turtles and touch stingrays, complete a scavenger hunt and go for a hike or listen to a Read Aloud. Half of the day you will be with a Teacher or Docent and the other half of the day you will be leading your class through provided activities.
