(Poulsbo, WA) Washington State University Kitsap
County Extension and Washington Sea Grant present the 2015 Kitsap Beach
Naturalist training, an opportunity for the public to take a series of classes
to learn more about marine life and shorelines, both in the classroom and while
exploring beaches.
Classes take place 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday evenings,
April 9 through May 14 at the Poulsbo Marine Science Center, 18743 Front Street.
Adults and teens are welcome; children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
Cost for the six sessions is $65. Scholarships are available.
Surrounded
by water, the Kitsap Peninsula is an amazing place to learn about and enjoy sea
life. Over the course of six evening classes and a variety of field trips,
participants learn about sea stars, clams, crabs, and other critters, as well as
seaweeds and plants that live on local beaches. Discussion will also focus on
Salish Sea oceanography, shoreline living, conservation, and
restoration.
After the training, participants will be qualified to
volunteer in exciting service projects, which include beach explorations, local
community events and service and monitoring projects that help protect and
enhance Kitsap shorelines.
