Estuary EDventures’ field trips are hosted at the Tampa Bay Watch Marine Education Center in Tierra Verde, Florida. Field trips are facilitated by experienced educators with degrees in biology, marine biology, and environmental sciences and are aligned to Sunshine State Standards. Programs are designed to engage students in hands-on, experiential labs and field activities focused on the estuarine environment. Whether seining, dissecting, or identifying, students learn basic science principles and leave feeling inspired. Financial assistance available for qualifying schools.

Tampa Bay Watch is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for all program participants. In compliance with CDC guidelines, Tampa Bay Watch has implemented a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan and procedures in response to the pandemic. This includes: extensive cleaning protocol, health screenings, social distancing, face covering requirements, and limited program capacities. All Tampa Bay Watch visitors and program participants are expected to follow the same policies. Through this cooperative effort, we hope to maintain the health and safety of all.
