Baylands Ecology
The San Francisco Bay is quite literally at the center of our local environment. Being almost entirely surrounded by land, the Bay is technically an estuary where fresh water from nearly 40% of our state runs off and mixes with salt water from the Pacific Ocean.
Students will learn about how animals and plants have adapted to live in this salty environment. For example, they will explore shore birds' varied bill shapes and how the endangered Salt Harvest Mouse makes its home within its food source - pickleweed.
The program is available for grades 1 and up. The selection of learning stations will focus the program to the appropriate age group.
