off this summer and learn about the role seagrass plays in protecting
our bays. Friday, July 21st, from11:00am-3:00pm (eastern),

Bay. This adult-level class covers the basics of life in a
seagrass bed, as well as the intricate ties between organisms and
importance of conservation and protection efforts in our area. The
Seagrass Class is $25 per person and ticket purchase is required
