Ages 3 and up with limited space so register now!

Join us for a hands-on adventure exploring Sarasota Bay! Work with experts from Mote Marine Laboratory and USF Sarasota-Manatee to collect and analyze samples using real field and lab techniques, then transform your findings into an Expressive Animal Art Textures project with local teaching artist Kat Sjogren.
