Seahorse Art + Science

July 27-31 (10-14yr) 9am-2pm

August 10-14 (10-14yr) 9am-2pm

In this specialty program, students will become immersed in the world of seahorses! Each day we will focus on different aspects of the biology, ecology and behavior of seahorses. The highlights of this program will include daily seining to contribute scientific data to CCE's Seahorse Conservation Initiative, by capturing, photographing, measuring and using other scientific equipment to monitor the population seahorses in the eelgrass meadow. Students will also get the unique opportunity to snorkel over the eelgrass meadows, discovering many of the elusive species that shelter there.

When not in the water, students will set up fish tanks and conduct experiments, help our local seahorse populations through stewardship activities including eelgrass restoration and coastal clean ups, and have the opportunity to work on a seahorse inspired art project everyday with the guidance of local artist Carolyn Munaco.

Our Tiana summer programs are made possible in part by Back to the Bays, an initiative of Cornell Cooperative Extension Marine Program. 

All participants must be able to swim, be comfortable wading in the water up to waist height, and be physically able to participate in seining to attend.
