Summer Seagrass Sleuths is a family-friendly summer program offered by the Pensacola and Perdido Bays Estuary Program and is focused on getting folks in the water to see what critters are living amongst the seagrass beds in our estuaries. Our staff will help you run a seine net and go through all the critters that we catch! Please note, this is not a drop off event and parents/guardians must stay with their kids.
