What are the different kinds of algae? Are algae plants? How can creatures survive in the rocky intertidal zone? How can anything live in the deep ocean? These are a few of the enticing questions that will be answered in this sixteen-week workshop!

We’ll learn about a myriad of topics, from algae to estuarine ecosystems. Extra information is included in the classroom so students who are already familiar with the subject material can continue to expand their knowledge.
