SURF AND TURF: JUNE 15-19 & JULY 13-17 Sand between your toes and wind in your hair – this week we are heading to the beach! The most popular place to go in Florida is also a habitat for many incredible critters that have lived there much longer than we have. From squawking sea birds to shy coquinas, discover how wildlife thrive in the places where land meets the sea!
BIRDS OF A FEATHER: JUNE 22-26 & JULY 20-24Grab your binoculars! We will be learning all about birds!

TROUBLED SEAS: JUNE 8-12, JUNE29-JULY 3, & JULY 27-31 Pollution is everywhere! Come find out ways you can help animals like sea turtles, dolphins, and whales. Many animals off the coast of Florida struggle with mistaking plastic for food! What alternatives can you come up with to help these animals? Do you know what microplastics are? We are going to find out ways to help animals and go to the beach to explore!
EBB AND FLOW: JUNE 15-19 & JULY 13-17Environments are always changing within the beaches and bays of southwest Florida. As a biologist, discover the challenges plants and animals face, and their adaptations that help with survival.

CSI: CRITTER SCENE INVESTIGATORS: JUNE 22-26 & JULY 20-24 Grab your magnifying glasses and put on your detective hats, we have a scene to investigate…a critter scene that is! The wildlife of Florida may not always be visible to us, but that doesn’t mean they are not there. This week we will examine animal tracks, owl pellets, and other clues to help put together a story of the behavior and diet of animals living in our own back-
yards!

GUARDIANS OF THE GULF: JUNE 8-12 Welcome to the Gulf of Mexico, an ancient basin of 660 quadrillion gallons of water. Here, amazing wildlife like sharks and sea turtles abound - but there is trouble in paradise! Oil spills, dead zones, and more threaten the residents of this unique marine ecosystem. This week we will a look at our ecological impacts on the Gulf and learn about the action plans we can take to help!
NATURE’S NURSERIES: JUNE 15-19 Let’s learn all about animal nurseries! Estuaries are a vital part of life for many baby animals during their first few years of life. Some adult species, like sea turtles and sharks come back here for food, and we will learn about some of the research projects that are involved with those animals. We will be exploring ways that mangroves and oyster beds help animals and play an important part in their ecosystems!
SWAMP SLEUTHS: JULY 20-24Discover the mysteries of the swamp and spend the week investigating the wildlife of the wetlands.

NATURE’S NURSERIES: JULY 13-17 Mangroves are one of Florida’s natural nurseries. Many juvenile animals depend on this habitat to grow and survive their first few years of life. We will be going to a variety of ecosystems to learn all about these important habitats! We will be doing hands-on research out in the field, and this week also includes 10 hours of volunteer service.
SALTWATER SCIENCE: JULY 27-31 How far can sharks migrate? Can coral reefs survive warming ocean temperatures? How are sea turtles able to nest on the same beaches on which they hatched decades before? These are just a few of the many questions that face Florida’s marine biologists. Join us this week as we take the Junior Naturalists to the lab, field, and classroom to investigate these questions and more, with the help of marine scientists and their research. This week also includes 10 hours of volunteer service!
