This 2.5 hour boat program is one of our most popular and versatile offerings.  Students will literally and figuratively get their hands wet as they investigate the living and non-living components of Long Island Sound!  Your students will study living organisms in the stern of the boat by hauling a trawl net, doing a plankton tow, pulling a lobster pot, and (on some trips) sorting through a mud grab.  In the bow of the boat, they’ll learn how to use a wide range of oceanographic equipment as they investigate physical and chemical aspects of the water column and the bottom.
