Community workshop to discover and explore marine life at low tide on the Bushwick Inlet Park jetty.
Celebrate City of Water Day with Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park! Marine biologists from the Coastal Classroom will lead the community in workshops to discover and explore marine life at low tide on the Bushwick Inlet Park jetty.
Activities will include a seining demonstration and organism identification, marine food chains discussions, water quality testing and talk about the human impacts to aquatic ecosystems in NYC.
The biologists will seine the shoreline for marine life. Participants 16 and older can assist them but must sign a waiver.
