Join the Wild Oyster Project for a hands-on oyster experience at Point Molate Beach Park! Get ready to learn about oyster habitats, conservation efforts, and participate in some oyster monitoring. This event is perfect for anyone interested in marine life or looking to learn more about our local Bay ecosystem. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to wade into the world of oysters with fellow community members! Sea you there!
What it is: A low tide transect survey of native Olympia oysters. A keystone species of our Bay ecosystem.
What you should bring: Water, sunscreen, hat, your sense of scientific inquiry!
What you should wear: Clothes you can get dirty, shoes you can get both dirty and wet. Rain boots or hiking shoes are preferable.
Event considerations: We will be walking over terrain that is uneven and slippery. This event is entirely outdoors with no bathroom access. Parking is limited so we recommend carpooling if possible.
You will get a sense of what field work is like for marine scientists.
