Salt marshes are some of the most productive ecosystems in the world. Students will discover how salt marshes are formed, how they function, their critical role in the marine web of life and the ecological benefits they provide for the environment. This is an immersion experience. Students will need footwear that will stay snug and secure on their feet while in the marsh. This program can be tailored for all ages, and lasts about 1.5 hours.
