Apalachicola Estuary Exploration

Join us to explore the estuary we depend on, Apalachicola Bay and its connected ecosystem. Learn about the habitats and inhabitants of the estuary and how the river and bay are intricately linked. We will see these habitats up close aboard the Reserve’s research vessel the Tideline. This class is free; however, reservations are required.

The purpose of this class is to help residents of Franklin and neighboring counties understand the value of this connected ecosystem. Participants will learn about the ecology, culture, and history of the Apalachicola River and Bay and appreciate the value of these systems. After the in-class portion, participants will embark on a journey aboard the Reserve’s research vessel to get an up-close look at some of the ecosystems.

Please Note:

This trip will require moderate walking and climbing in and out of a boat.

This class is intended for adult education purposes, so we kindly ask that people registering be 16 years or older.

If you have taken this class before, please withhold from making reservations allowing others a chance to learn.
