marine biology elective goes on a reef check

​Last week our marine biology elective students participated in a Reef Check with the EMBARC education program in Marina Del Rey. They spent three hours on a highly interactive marine conservation course that was taught by marine scientists on a boat out on the ocean. They learned all about California’s native marine ecosystems, they reviewed shark adaptations, learned about plankton, participated in a plankton tow and even carried out scientific testing of seawater. #ecology #marinebiology #handsonlearning
