Marine Bio 101 Snorkel - Mission Bay
Mission Point Park is a great spot for beginner snorkelers and marine biology nerds! We will be snorkeling in Mission Bay, a calm, flat body of water that feeds into the Pacific Ocean. Being in the bay, we will encounter smaller fish and lots of invertebrates, ranging from brittle stars, urchins, sea slugs, and octopus. After a brief safety and snorkel etiquette talk, we will explore the area for one hour. We will investigate local animal species as you learn detailed information about them. If possible, we will safely handle animals before returning them to their homes among the rocks and sea grass. This snorkel trip is hosted year-round.
