About This Activity
“Understanding Osteichthyes” - Bony Fish This week, students will dive into local fish diversity through focused daily explorations. Each class will highlight a different species, guiding students to identify it, understand its unique adaptations, and, when possible, observe it in its natural habitat. From the rudder-like tail movements of pufferfish to the upright swimming and color-changing abilities of seahorses, we’ll examine the fascinating anatomy, behavior, diet, and ecological niches that define each fish. You can expect plenty of seining, dip netting, and snorkeling. There’s nothing like swimming along with the most diverse group of vertebrates! Content and activities tailored for ages 13 to 17. Homeschool at Sea courses are designed to be drop-off programs. However, parents/guardians are welcome to shadow—only ONE adult chaperone per family. For all programs, ONLY registered participants are allowed to attend (no younger or older non-registered siblings).
