Northeast REEF Fish ID Program |
Bob Michelson will conduct
a two (2) hour workshop to teach kids how to identify
56 species of local finfish
using photography as the teaching tool. Based on the REEF Environmental Education
Foundation’s Northeast Fish Identification Program, the program shows how to identify
these creatures by using body shape, size, fin structure and location, body markings,
coloration and habitat as identification keys. Memory clues aid to make this
learning experience fun for SCUBA divers and snorkelers of all skill levels, as
well as teachers and students from elementary through college level.
All support materials needed
to identify these fish and even begin conducting fish surveys in the New England
region will be provided. This workshop is sponsored
by “Photography By Michelson”, in Braintree, MA.
Advance Registration is Required: Please email us at
KidsRegistration@BostonSeaRovers.com to register for the workshop.
