SUMMARY:Sea Dawg Trawl
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClimb aboard the UGA Aquarium’s research vessel\, the R/V Sea Dawg\, for a trawl in Wassaw Sound! Participants will actively contribute to marine sampling efforts by working alongside marine educators to collect\, sort\, and identify a variety of marine organisms collected as part of the trawl. All data collected contributes to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ marine inventory record\, supporting long-term monitoring of local species. \n\n\n\nThis program also introduces Trawl to Trash\, an initiative aimed at preventing marine debris from entering coastal ecosystems. Participants will learn about the negative impacts of marine debris on wildlife and habitats and explore the use of Trawl to Trash bags\, created from recycled shrimp nets\, to collect and remove debris. Each participant will have the opportunity to construct their own bag to take home and use for collecting trash along Georgia’s coast. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium. Children ages 10 and up are welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult. Tickets are nonrefundable. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Cindy Lingebach at calingeb@uga.edu or call 912-598-2344. \n\n\n\nThis program is offered at a discounted rate thanks to funding from NOAA’s Marine Debris Program.
