Coastal Encounters
Join us for Coastal Encounters: Open House at the Navarre Beach Marine Science Station Celebration on Saturday, October 1, 2011, 10 am until 2 pm. The Navarre Beach Marine Science Station is located at the county park on Navarre Beach. Join us for this fun filled day!
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 myths, marine debris, fish painting, shell identification, sea turtles, seagrasses 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. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Emerald Coast Wildlife and Florida Sea Grant will provide displays. Learn about live marine critters at the touch tank, experience kayaking and fishing.
