SUMMARY:SALT SPRING - Seashore Explorations
DESCRIPTION:June 9\, from 1 – 3\, at Baker Beach: Kathleen will lead an exploration of the Salt Spring Shore with guests Marine Biologist\, David Denning and Biologist\, Pat Miller. \nWhat could be more entertaining than a low tide at Baker Beach? “Well\, a seine pull!” exclaims David Denning\, enthusiastically\, and Baker is the best beach on Salt Spring for this kind of activity. \nMucking about on the tide flats with the herons and oyster catchers\, we’ll share our discoveries about the critters that live above\, on and below the sandy/muddy/rocky surfaces. We have nets for all\, a few pails\, and our expert mentors will use some of the tools of marine biology to explain the lifestyles of both the common and the unusual organisms that make Salt Spring their home. \nYou will need your rubber boots or other appropriate footwear for scrambling about on rocks and sharp barnacles\, some clothing layers\, maybe rain gear\, and of course a hat. \nDavid Denning is a marine naturalist and retired educational filmmaker who has lived on Salt Spring for 30 years. Pat Miller has a Master’s degree in Zoology with a long-standing fascination with intertidal flora and fauna\, and really enjoys beach seining with David. \nThe field trip is limited to 20 people and registration is required – please email Kathleen\,  khmaser@shaw.ca for details of our meeting place and to register. \n  \n
