Learn about the role oysters play in the health of Apalachicola Bay. Discover what makes the bay so ideal for growing oysters, what gives our oysters their distinct flavor, and how oyster reefs benefit the ecosystem. We will examine possible causes of the oysters collapse and what is being done to restore them to Apalachicola Bay. Participants will get to look at its these creatures under a high powered microscope. This class is full of opportunities to learn more about these amazing animals that live in our bay and along the tidal flats.
