SUMMARY:Pacific Plankton Walk
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a morning filled with plankton! These are the microscopic organisms that produce half the oxygen we breathe (phytoplankton) and the zooplankton\, that form the base of the food chain. We will be going out to the Santa Cruz Wharf to collect the plankton and take data on the physical conditions. We will then go to a lab at the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Center to look closely at our subjects (plankton) under the microscopes. \n  \nREGISTER\nAbout the Speaker\nJane Silberstein received her undergraduate degree in science (emphasis on marine science) at UCSC\, and later obtained her graduate degree at Moss Landing Marine Labs in Invertebrate Marine Ecology. She has spent the last 40 years learning and teaching about the marine life in the bay and ways to engage audiences with this information. Jane has been teaching about plankton for 10 semesters at Cabrillo College with a program called the Pacific Plankton Program\, and worked on plankton projects for many years at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. \n  \nAccessibility and Logistics\n\nThere will be two parts in this program (field work and lab portion) — Please note that transportation between venues is not provided\, so plan accordingly.\nDress in comfortable layers\, long pants\, hat\, sunglasses\,and closed-toe shoes (no flip-flops or sandals).\nPlease plan to bring any water and snacks you will want during the program.\nPlease bring a notebook if you have one\, otherwise\, we’ll bring paper\, to draw and describe the amazing microscopic drifters we find in the Monterey Bay!\n\n\nCapacity: 20\nTicket Price: $35\nDiscounts: $5 member discount\nAge limit: 10+ Youth must be accompanied by an adult.
