Seining Workshop for Kids

October 9th, 2008

What: Seining Workshop for Kids
When: Saturday, Oct 11, 11:30pm – 1:00pm
Where: Beach in Brooklyn Bridge Park, Dumbo

Find out what lives in the waters under the Manhattan Bridge! Join experts from the Coastal Marine Resource Center and the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy as we use a 30-foot seining net to catch fish and other remarkable East River creatures. Families and kids can take a good look at the fish before we release them back to their homes and keep a tally of our catch. We provide field guides, identification keys, and plenty of fun to go around. Space is available for 30 kids plus their parents/guardians. To reserve a place, e-mail Kara Gilmour, Education and Stewardship Coordinator.
