Marine Ecology Aug 14th + 15th

Explore the astonishing diversity of the fascinating marine life in San Francisco Bay. Search for marvelous invertebrates in tide pools, then dig for shy sand crabs on the beach. Tap into your scientific observation skills to discover what’s special about sea birds, marine mammals, and their connection to plankton and algae. As we dive into the fascinating life in the ocean, we will discover how energy originates, then transforms itself and extends itself to the entire planet we call Earth.

Daily field trips and adventures will make you experience the thrill of scientific discovery!
Campers will use MUNI to visit the Exploratorium, Ocean Beach, China Beach, and Crissy Field.

Led byAlexandra Smith, B.S.

Alexandra has loved the ocean ever since she was five years old, traveling with her family. This is why she decided to study Ecology and Evolutionary Biology in college, learning underwater photography, diving, and sailing. She never imagined teaching, however, until she joined the famed Catalina Island Marine Institute and had the opportunity to share her love for the ocean with curious minds.

Alexandra has participated in mosquitofish lab research, marine protected area research, and field study in Calvi, France. She holds a B.S. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from UC Santa Cruz.
