Friday July 18 -- 3rd Friday's July presentation is "SEAGRASS ADVENTURES" -- 6-8:30pm
Come and enjoy the beach right outside the doors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Biscayne Nature Center and learn who calls the seagrass home. Our well versed and interesting naturalists will gather specimens from the seagrass for your up-close inspection as they discuss each find. The seagrass is richly populated with aquatic "neighbors" and we think you'll be surprised to see them. This is going to be a fun and informative evening of discovery for everyone. (Wear your beach shoes.) We'll also have beach activities for the little schoolies, music, an inexpensive light supper and a delightful cash bar. Adults $5, "little flippers" $2, flip-flopped members of all sizes Free. 3rd Fridays are a blast of educational fresh air fun for the whole family.
