Join us for an adventure aboard the Educational Vessel Discovery! Together, we’ll explore the Ashepoo, Combahee, & Edisto (ACE) Basin, one of the Lowcountry’s most treasured landscapes and learn why it’s so important to protect. While in this “floating classroom,” we’ll talk about local conservation, learn about the health of the water, and even get a close-up view of some of the fascinating creatures that live in our estuaries.
When: Wednesday, September 17 – 9:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Where: We will depart from the McKenzie Field Station at Bennett’s Point – approximately a 1.5 hour drive from Beaufort.
What to bring: Water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, binoculars, hat, sunglasses. We will be on a large pontoon style boat that provides some shade. Lifejackets are provided and required to be worn by all passengers.
Optional : Bring a bag lunch – we will eat lunch at the field station after we return from the tour. There is also a seafood market next to the field station. Plan accordingly!
