Glen Acres Kelp Forest Snorkel

Join us for Glen Acres Kelp Forest Snorkel and help with our ongoing community science research on our local kelp forests. This snorkel survey takes place June 30th from 10 am-12:30 pm. We will meet at Ober Park. Limited parking is available at the research site, so carpooling is required. 

Participants will assist VNC in monitoring fish use in natural kelp forests, and will be paired with a VNC staff member trained in all research protocols who will assist in collecting data. your lunch, water, and what you need to be comfortable on the beach for a few hours. 

Strong swimming skills are required for all snorkelers and snorkeling experience is preferred. We request snorkelers bring their own wetsuits, fins, mask, and snorkel – or include your height, weight, and shoe size and we will be able to provide proper equipment for the day. There is also an opportunity for kayak support volunteers, and a shoreside role that can accommodate individuals who can move across uneven surfaces.
