Come Join Us On Our Wading Trips! This is an excellent source of learning and fun! Participants sign up to learn about the Charlotte Harbor estuary, the encompassing water resources, and the multitude of creatures that depend on the aquatic habitat. Waders listen to, and participate in, a short lecture about the area and wildlife. Then, armed with dip-nets and buckets, the participants enter the Seagrass beds to find a nursery full of small and young aquatic creatures. Recent findings include, immature Amber Jack, Pipefish, Seahorses, Starfish, Black-cheeked tongue fish, Lightening Whelk, King Crowned Conch, immature Horseshoe crabs, immature Blue Crabs, and much, much more.
