Ocean Forest Odyssey
Ever wonder what mysteries lay beneath the ocean surface? Jump in and explore the underwater world first-hand with mask and snorkel, observing the diversity of life in the nearshore habitats of Monterey Bay. A visit to the tidepools will allow you to investigate the creatures that live at the edge of the sea, then examine the internal and external anatomy of fish during a dissection of a local species. Experience the soothing rhythm of life in the ocean forest as you glide over the kelp forest canopy by kayak. Plankton studies, fish printing and algae pressing will round out your study of kelp forest life. Campers must be able to swim.
