Animal E.R., Coastal Investigations! and CSI-Marine Mammals!
Marine
Animal E.R.--
How do sea
turtles, seals and dolphins become stranded? How are they rescued,
rehabilitated, and released? How have humans impacted strandings? What
do stranded animals teach us about their natural history, populations,
and the health of our oceans?

National Marine Life Center! Through simulations, games, discussions
and hands-on activities, you will learn what it is like to work in a

Coastal Investigations!--
You've been
to the beach, but have you ever studied it? Join us as we combine
curiosity, computers, and clam digging to carry out coastal
investigations! You will sample, observe, and record conditions at the
shore as you learn how to take the "pulse" of the bay. In teams, you
will carry out short-term research projects and interpret results, then
compare them with other regions using real-time coastal data sets. Be
prepared to get your feet wet and your creativity flowing!
