Marine Discovery Center has begun monitoring the phytoplankton and zooplankton populations living in the Indian River Lagoon, right off our dock! By building this data set, we will be able to better understand the variety of life invisible to the naked eye and how plankton respond to environmental changes. THIS OPPORTUNITY IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
Volunteers will learn how to properly collect plankton, prepare plankton samples, and catalog phytoplankton and zooplankton species.
Our 2024-25 trainings will be held from 3-4:30 pm on September 3, November 5, January 7, and March 4.
Open to participants ages 15+. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]
