Led by marine biologist Chris Whitt, the hands-on course will cover finding and identifying micromollusks, phytoplankton collecting, invertebrate diversity, learning about the beach ecosystem and more. It will take place during a negative tide, giving attendees a higher probability of observing live mollusks. The museum will provide materials, including a mini field lab notebook, pencil, shell guide and all items necessary to collect micromollusks and phytoplankton and to conduct water quality testing. The cost is $60 for members and $75 for non-members; the parking fee is not included.
