Bay Studies (Grades 9-12)
Long Island’s bays provide landscapes for recreation, wildlife conservation, and aquaculture. Join our educators to study the health of the bay by testing its waters, monitoring species through seine net fishing, and learning what we can do better to keep it in balance. Students will identify signs of a healthy ecosystem and explore mitigation techniques for human impacts.
