Salt Marsh Seining
Living Labs Program
Program information
6th-12th Grade
Salt Marsh seining allows students to emulate water quality experiments conducted by our GTMNERR researchers. Students will use state-of-the-art water quality and weather parameter collection technology to determine how environmental factors impact biodiversity in the estuary. Topics discussed include dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, water and air temperature. Students will seine in order to identify and measure organisms found in the estuary. It is strongly recommended that students wear clothing they don’t mind getting wet and/or muddy.
