Living Classroom: The Shoreline Environment

Description

This class will focus on the ecosystems that surround coastal communities. Students will learn about the animals and plants that can be found in and around the oceans and bays in coastal areas like the Rockaways, including oysters, dune plants, fish, and sharks. After a brief discussion inside, students will get the opportunity to explore those wildlife communities. Activity dependent on tide, weather, and season.

Each class is 75 minutes in length.
Classes are conducted during the regular school day at the RISE Center, at 58-03 Rockaway Beach Boulevard.
