About This Activity
With a mission to dispel myths and misconceptions, this course focuses on our friends: sharks, skates, and rays. From learning to identify shark teeth to comparing dermal denticles with sandpaper, students will learn about the diverse adaptations, anatomical features, and unique senses that set elasmobranchs apart. We’ll highlight their pivotal role in the ocean and their misunderstood nature and explore Sanibel’s waters, hoping to observe one in the wild. Creative art projects will foster a deeper appreciation for their unique anatomy. Join us to set the record straight and learn how to protect these magnificent ocean predators.
