Botany Bay Field Study

*Max capacity: 40 students* Barrier Islands are more than just the beachfront where the ocean meets the sand, they are made up of dynamic and diverse habitats. As we walk out to the beach, we'll explore and identify common characteristics of other barrier island habitats, such as maritime forests, salt marshes, and hammock islands. Once we reach the beach, we'll discuss the noticeable shoreline erosion and impacts of sea level rise on this natural beach.
