About This Activity
Calling all young scientists - have we got a week for you! We’ve got loads of questions about seagrass that can only be answered by repeated observation – how are seagrass beds doing near Sanibel, what environmental factors affect seagrass, who lives in seagrass beds, who lives on seagrass blades, is the habitat changing? Our heads are spinning, and we’re calling on our trusty Sanibel Sea School campers for help. From counting seagrass blades in a quadrat to conducting experiments on light availability and water quality, campers will actively contribute to ongoing research while gaining a deeper understanding of the delicate balance within seagrass ecosystems. Through direct observation and data collection, we hope to foster a connection between theory and real-world application. Ultimately inspiring future generations of marine scientists and conservationists. Grab a mask, snorkel, some microscopes, and your best thinking cap; we’re diving into seagrass research!
