Saturday Seining in the Seagrasses invites families to discover life in seagrass beds in the Indian River Lagoon, such as juvenile fishes, crabs, and maybe even seahorses! The program begins with a brief presentation inside the Aquarium, followed by a seine-netting lesson before entering the water to collect animals! All participants must wear clothing that can get wet and water shoes with heel straps. This program is recommended for ages six and up. The cost is $6 for adults and $5 for children and includes Aquarium admission. Aquarium member discounts are available. Following the program, participants are welcome to join the 10:30am feeding tour inside the Aquarium.

Advance registration for both programs is required as space is limited. To register for either program, please call 772-465-3271 or email SMSEducation@si.edu.
