Old clothes suitable for getting wet and dirty. Dress appropriately for the weather. Sunscreen and hats are highly recommended. Have several suitable dates available when you call to register your group so that you can select a day when you can get on the island at low tide. Notify the staff of your instructional objectives.
Some activities require greater teacher preparation.
For example, if you have completed some classroom and field activities through the Estuary-Net Project for middle and high schools, you could allow your students to participate in ongoing research projects at the student monitoring sites on the island. Any age class of students will benefit from prior study on coastal environments. This will be your only cost and you need to complete your own negotiations. To schedule guided field trips, please call or write. North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve 135 Duke Marine Lab Rd.
