Apalachicola River & Floodplain Class

November 22, 2019 @ 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm

  • « Barracuda Boys
  • Apalachicola Riverkeeper’s Field Trips »

The Apalachicola River has been called “the Lifeblood of the Bay.” Freshwater from the river mixes with salty gulf creating Apalachicola Bay, one of the most pristine and productive estuaries in the country. The river has always played an important role in Apalachicola’s history and it is vital to our lives today. It is also a significant resource for the state of Florida, and its freshwater flow is critical to the health and productivity of the Gulf of Mexico.
Participants will learn about the ecology, culture, and history of the Apalachicola River and floodplain, as well as come to appreciate the impact interstate relationships play in the control of the river. After the in-class portion, participants will embark on a journey up the river aboard the ANERR research vessel Henry Lee to get an up-close look at some of the floodplain ecosystems and distributaries of the river.
Tickets for the class are free but must be claimed in advance from our eventbrite page.
Any questions about this or any of our other courses and workshops can be addressed to either Anita Grove: (850) 670-7708 or emailed to her here, or Josh Eaton: (850) 670-7710 or email him here.
