Explore Kiptopeke State Park’s shallow, sandy shoreline, and Cape Charles’ grass beds as we look for juvenile fish and invertebrates in their natural habitat. Led by an Aquarium naturalist, participants will discover the value of the local grass beds and how it provides a great nursery for a variety of native animals. Join us as we seine, dip-net, and identify the creatures who call the beach their home.
This program is open to guests ages 8 and older and will take place outside for most of the day. Guests will travel to the Eastern Shore in a 12-passenger van, after which we will navigate a soft sandy beach with activities conducted in the water. Guests may handle shellfish during the excursion (e.g. shrimp, crabs, clams, etc.).
