BBAP Partners with MAST@FIU

On May 26, the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve staff partnered with Marine Academy of Science and Technology public high school to co-host an end-of-year field trip to Sandspur Island in northern Biscayne Bay. Freshman, sophomore and junior class students kayaked to the island where they were then supplied with marine debris bags, gloves, data sheets and clipboards to collect data while participating in the island cleanup project. Students were not only excited to enjoy their backyard aquatic preserve, but they were also thrilled to be scientists for the morning!
