Published 3:54 pm Tuesday, July 3, 2012
During the Fourth of July week there will be big low tides and Indian Island Marine Health Observatory Field Research Days.
Wednesday, July 4 – 10:30 a.m. (-2.8) – Eelgrass Density Survey
Thursday, July 5 – 11 a.m. (-2.2) – Fish Seining
Friday, July 6 – Noon (-1.5) – No protocols, but Stewards on the beach
You are invited to expand your wonder of the natural world and join us any time.
The IIMHO team is always looking for new volunteers if you would like to help. The season extends to all low tides through August 2. No experience necessary, just a love of the marine environment and desire. For more information about volunteer opportunities, call Marcia Spees 376-4084.
The low tide window allowing access to the island lasts about two hours. Meet at the tide pools around Indian Island. Wear appropriate footwear (wet sand, gravel, shallow water), and come on down to the beach!
