4-H Tidepool Immersion Discovery + Ecology Workshop Series

May 3, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

UMaine Extension with 4H cloverleaf logotype

Explore the intertidal zone and help with marine science research! In this workshop, we will learn about animals you might find during low tide and use some amazing equipment to take awesome pictures on your phone to identify them. Along the way, we’ll learn about invasive species, climate change, species identification, and how you can participate in research by just taking a picture.

Please note that the ability to get to the beach and supervision are required (at least once, between sessions). Participants must have access to a durable digital camera (a phone is fine).
