Stewardship Saturday: Investigating Tidepools for Ocean Health

Join Latino Outdoors, Greater Farallones, and The Marine Mammal Center as we head to the shore to study tidepools and adventure along one of our local beaches. Through this event you will have the opportunity to explore tidepools with experts in the field, learn more about the value tidepools have for our marine mammals and community, and take some time to traverse other coastal areas to understand how all components of this ecosystem are interconnected. We hope by the end of this event you will have a deeper understanding of the value and importance of all components of our coastal ecosystem, and will have some goals for next steps to take on your conservation journey. 

We can sign for Community Service hours if you need us to!

Free breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided

Accessibility notes:

• Working and communicating in small groups with youth you may not know 
• Walking on uneven ground (ex: stairs down to the beach, sand, rocks around the tidepool) 
• Limited access to bathrooms on the beach (bathroom available at parking lot) 
• Entire event outdoors – exposure to weather (sun, wind, etc.) 

This event may be cancelled due to weather conditions. We will notify you the week of the event if this happens.

Parking notes:

• Parking is free at the beach 
• Driver note: Adult drivers of youth are welcome to drop youth off and come back at the end of the event, or explore the local area during this time. We do ask that youth attend the events without adults to allow for opportunities to meet others interested in conservation. All organization staff are certified to work with youth.

Primary language event will be spoken in: English
