Students gather to watch the seining of the salt pond.
On Friday, September 22, the Lower School spent the morning at the waterfront in search of living things. The morning began with a shoreline survey in the intertidal zone. Eleven groups of children searched under rocks, beneath the seaweed, in the mud, and in the shallows, finding a wealth of organisms that make this area their home. One student in each group was in charge of documenting their findings. The second part of the morning focused on the inhabitants of the small salt pond and shallow waters off of the beach, in particular the vertebrate life.
