Exploring Kelp Forest Ecosystems

In this Library NExT workshop students learn about the incredible algae in our ecosystem, including an interactive “creature features” lesson highlighting invertebrates, fish, and sharks.  Live underwater kelp forests just off our San Diego shores provide vertical habitats for marine life. In addition to this practical marine biology lesson, students will create an art project using watercolor pencils.
