Sanctuary Explorations: Kayaking, Ecology, & Plankton

Join Greater Farallones sanctuary naturalists and WaterTreks for a morning kayak on the Russian River Estuary along the spectacular Redwood Coast. Explore the wildlife, ecology, and island and coastal beaches where the river meets the sea. We’ll collect plankton samples for Sonoma Coast Watch to monitor for harmful algal blooms. Our paddle concludes with a bit of “dockside science” - examining our samples with microscopes to reveal this fascinating, multi-form marine life.

Ages 10+; adults must accompany minors.

Space is limited. Registration required!
