Walking Through a Coastal Wetland: A Virtual Tour

mangroves

This presentation will feature short video clips of scientists performing wetland monitoring activities in salt marsh and mangrove environment. This footage will be coupled with a live “unbagging” presentation of a typical day’s field kit. Students will learn what salt marsh and mangroves habitats are, why they are important, and what scientists at FWRI are doing to monitor their long-term health and promote future conservation.

Learning Points

  1. What are salt marsh and mangrove habitats?
  2. Why are they important to Florida’s fish and wildlife?
  3. What are the tools we use to study coastal wetlands?
