Project Plankton Training Workshop

Event Description

Calling all citizen scientists ages 15 and up! Marine Discovery Center has begun monitoring the phytoplankton and zooplankton populations living in the Indian River Lagoon, right off our dock! By building this data set, we will be able to better understand the variety of life invisible to the naked eye and how plankton respond to environmental changes. Volunteers will learn how to properly collect plankton, prepare plankton samples, and catalog phytoplankton and zooplankton species.
