| Program Description | Wild Oysters is a high school program that uses native Olympia oysters as a teaching tool. Targeting environmental science, marine science and biology students from underserved communities, we provide up to four classroom visits and two field trips to participating classes, all of which are free to schools. Students will get the chance to experience a day in the life of a marine biologist as they put on rubber boots and collect data on an oyster reef in the San Francisco Bay. They will also get to taste oysters in Tomales Bay as they learn about aquaculture. This program is aligned with NGSS Life Sciences standards. |
