Be prepared for an all morning adventure! Get wet while pulling a seine net and learn about the different sea creatures prior to their release. Enjoy a scavenger hunt for beautiful shells and other items that may have been washed ashore. End the day with a one-half mile nature hike on the boardwalk as dune conservation, plants, wildlife and a bit of history are discussed. Keep your eyes open for the friendly park residents Gopher Tortoises, and enjoy the view from the observation tower.Note: Please bring water, sunscreen, a towel and a hat. It is suggested that ECHO Ranger candidates wear a swimsuit under their clothing as they will get wet during seining.
