SUMMARY:Homeschool Classes - Marine Biology
DESCRIPTION:Dive into Marine Biology with Tampa Bay Watch! \nTampa Bay Watch is thrilled to introduce a brand-new marine biology unit designed specifically for local homeschoolers. Join us at the beginning of each month for an exciting\, hands-on learning experience! \nThese student-only sessions are perfect for curious minds ages 6 and up\, offering opportunities to explore marine ecosystems and engage with real-world science. Whether you drop in for a single class or register for the full series\, each session promises discovery\, adventure\, and fun. \nSpaces are limited—reserve your spot today! \n$20 per participant \n  \n\n\n\n\nJanuary 2nd 1:00 – 2:00 PM\nLionfish Dissection\n\nJoin us to explore the ins and outs of the invasive lionfish. Uncover the truth about these problematic fish through a hands-on dissection and learn what is being done to eliminate them.\n\nFebruary 6th 1:00 – 2:00 PM\nShark Science\n\nLearn what makes sharks successful predators in the ocean and some of the challenges they face. Participants will leave with a new appreciation for these highly evolved (and often misunderstood) fish.\n\nMarch 6th 2:30 – 3:30 PM\nWild About Dolphins\n\nJoin us for a journey into the lives of dolphins – one of the ocean’s most intelligent and charismatic marine megafauna. Discover how these remarkable animals utilize echolocation\, communicate with one another\, and can be identified as individuals based on their dorsal fins!\n\nApril 3rd 1:00 – 2:30 PM\nWalking with Wildlife\n\nJoin us for a guided walking tour to get a closer look at the wildlife and habitats found nestled along the St Pete Pier. Students will learn how to become citizen scientists by discovering how to properly identify species and how to import their sightings into a global data collection platform.\n\nMay 1st 2:00 – 3:30 PM\nEco-Vessel Experience: All About the Bay\n\nHave you ever wondered what it’s like to be a marine biologist? When you step into our floating classroom\, you’ll find out! Join us aboard the Discovery to learn all about our favorite estuary: Tampa Bay! This tour includes wildlife watching\, a fisheries trawl to take a closer look at common local species\, and an opportunity to participate in real scientific research. We often spot manatees\, dolphins\, stingrays\, birds\, fish\, and so much more.\n\nMay 8th 2:00 – 3:15 PM\nSeine the Bay\n\nWade into shallow seagrass beds and use scientific nets to collect and identify fascinating nearshore creatures. Along the way\, we’ll explore the vital connections between coastal habitats and the animals that call them home. Students will uncover the unique adaptations that help these estuary species thrive in their dynamic environment.\nAll students need to be appropriately dressed with closed-toed shoes and clothing that can get wet (old tennis shoes\, water shoes\, or dive boots work best). Participants should also bring a towel\, change of clothes and dry shoes to change in to afterwards.\nThis class will be held at the Auer Marine Education Center at 3000 Pinellas Bayway S. Tierra Verde\, FL 33715.

SUMMARY:Marine Biology Homeschool Classes
DESCRIPTION:Dive into Marine Biology with Tampa Bay Watch! \nTampa Bay Watch is thrilled to introduce a brand-new marine biology unit designed specifically for local homeschoolers. Join us at the beginning of each month for an exciting\, hands-on learning experience! \nThese student-only sessions are perfect for curious minds ages 6 and up\, offering opportunities to explore marine ecosystems and engage with real-world science. Whether you drop in for a single class or register for the full series\, each session promises discovery\, adventure\, and fun. \nSpaces are limited—reserve your spot today! \n$20 per participant \n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<< \n  \nOctober 3rd 1:00 – 2:00 PM\nInvertebrate Investigation\n\nGet up-close and personal with some fascinating residents of our estuary as we dive into the world of invertebrates. What makes an invertebrate an invertebrate? Students will explore this question through interactive encounters with animals like sea stars and horseshoe crabs. We’ll sharpen our observation skills and practice scientific classification in a fun\, engaging environment.\n\nNovember 7th 2:30 – 3:30 PM\nSquid Dissection\n\nWhat do snails\, clams\, and octopuses have in common? In this hands-on program\, students will discover what makes a mollusc a mollusc! A guided squid dissection will help us uncover the special traits that unite this diverse group of animals and learn about the many molluscs that call our region home. From shells to squishy bodies\, the lesson will be full of surprises and science.\n\n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<< \nDecember 5th 1:00 – 2:00 PM\nIguana Intel\n\nHow did iguanas even end up in Florida\, and why are they thriving? Students will scope out the story behind these scaly invaders\, explore what makes them so successful in our environment\, and learn how their presence impacts native wildlife and habitats. A combination of wildlife observation and conservation science\, this program empowers students to take action and become stewards of Florida’s natural ecosystems.\n\n>>> RESERVE A SPOT <<< \nDecember 5th 2:30 – 3:30 PM\nIguana Dissection\n\nAges 12+\nIn this hands-on dissection experience\, students will explore the anatomy and adaptations of these reptiles in more detail to better understand their impact on local ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Parks for Pollinators Bio Blitz!
DESCRIPTION:Take part in Citizen Science and help conserve our mini-wildlife at Largo Central Park Nature Preserve! \n\n\nJoin the Parks for Pollinators BioBlitz 2025 and Help Save Local Pollinators! \nA Bio Blitz is a quick\, targeted survey of species in a particular area. \nAt this event we will learn and practice making observations of pollinators and the flowers they are visiting. Observations made at this event with the iNaturalist phone app will be added to a national database that tracks the health of pollinators across the country. Meet local naturalists\, learn how to use the iNaturalist app\, and explore the trails to make your first observations with experts on hand! \nEducators from the Brooker Creek Preserve Environmental Education Center and the City of Largo Parks Department will be on hand to get you started at this BioBlitz. Then\, participants are invited to continue making observations for the month of September in any park in Pinellas County! \nThis event will be held at Largo Central Park Nature Preserve \nEvery Observation = Real Scientific Data \nBy participating\, you’re not only helping to raise awareness — you’re contributing to real data that helps Pinellas County and conservation organizations across the Country make better decisions for wildlife and land management. \n>>> GET TICKETS <<< \nLearn More: www.nrpa.org/BioBlitz \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Eagle Lake Park BioBlitz!
DESCRIPTION:Join others in the community for a fun\, citizen-science effort to record as many species of plants and insects at Eagle Lake Park! \n\n\n\n\n\nPinellas County has recently been recognized as a Bee City (County) by the non-profit Xerces Society for the Conservation of Invertebrates. Part of our commitment to foster a community that supports insect conservation is to engage citizens in the collection of data on the health of our insect populations. \nYou are invited to join others in the community for a fun\, citizen-science effort to record as many species of plants and insects at Eagle Lake Park on June 28th. This “Bio-Blitz” using the iNaturalist phone app (free) will give us an idea of the density and diversity of pollinators and the plants they depend on in one park in our county. Educators from the Brooker Creek and Weedon Island Environmental Education Centers will be on hand to get you started at the BioBlitz. \n>>> GET TICKETS <<<
