Terrapins at Southern NJ Student Summit

COA’s Southern NJ Fall Student Summit will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2019, at 9am at Island Beach State Park in Seaside Park, NJ. Teachers may apply to participate in the free program, which is available to New Jersey middle school (grades 5-8) students from Ocean, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland, Cape May and Atlantic Counties.
The Summit provides students an opportunity to experience hands-on, marine environmental education at the Jersey Shore in the “outdoor classrooms” of beautiful and scenic Island Beach State Park. Students participate in roundtable activities and field trips to learn about marine species, birds, coastal ecosystems, nonpoint source pollution, climate change, sea level rise, and more. Schools are limited to bring 30 students and agree to the terms of participation. Applications are available at cleanoceanaction.org (click Education Programs) or by calling COA’s Kari Martin at 732-872-0111.
