Estuarine Ecology Day - Saturday, December 6, 2008

Join the Romberg Tiburon Center and San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve for one of our exciting, informative professional development workshops. Our FREE, one-day workshops are designed to promote interaction between Bay Area marine scientists and middle and high school science teachers. Participating teachers will learn about scientific research happening in the Bay right now, take home lesson ideas, and network with other science teachers as we study the estuary through interactive lectures, activities and a field trip.

Workshops are offered twice a year. The day long programs are comprised of a morning and afternoon session. Morning sessions include presentations by scientists about current topics in marine biology and oceanography. Afternoon sessions allow participants to choose between a variety of field trips or laboratory activities designed to complement the morning session.

Complementary light breakfast and lunch are always provided!

Workshops sponsored by the Romberg Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies, www.rtc.sfsu.edu and NOAA's San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, www.sfbaynerr.org.
