The North Inlet-Winyah Bay Reserve sponsors a variety of educational programs for all ages. These include informal seminars presented by Baruch scientists where citizens learn about current research activities, and short courses for families and children.
Many of the short courses incorporate the findings from research and/or involve participants directly in research projects. Participants in "The Fishes of North Inlet Estuary" assist Reserve scientists in the sorting, measurement and weighing of fishes, shrimp and crabs collected as part of a long-term survey begun in 1984.
Outreach activities include festivals and International events including Earth Day and Beach Sweep. North Inlet-Winyah Bay NERR also participates in the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce High Performance Partnership.
Other education experiences for public audiences include seasonal explorations of the salt marsh, bird walks and open houses of the Baruch Marine Lab. Schedules of education activities are produced three times a year and cover the periods: September-December, January-May and June-August.
Registration is limited for most activities and preregistration by phone is recommended. Contact the North Inlet-Winyah Bay NERR for more information, to sign up for a program, or to share your ideas for future program offerings.
