Climb aboard our floating classroom for an exploration of San Francisco Bay like no other! Our Big Blue Boat is the 90' Research Vessel Robert G. Brownlee, and we promise you will remember this trip for a lifetime!
After an introduction to this magical estuary, you can help us set a net to sample what fish are swimming through the waters below. We'll help you identify and even touch the fish we see... will we catch a shark, bat ray or any of over one hundred other surprising fish we've seen?? Then we pull up a bottom sample and see what all that mud has hidden inside. Last but not least, we'll peer into the world of plankton, the engine that drives the whole ecosystem!
Must be at least 5 years old to attend, and ALL children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. Closed-toe shoes required.
