Through presentations by local scientists and a field trip into the estuary, East Coast MARE will explore the ecology of local estuaries, how hurricanes affect the ecology, the physics of hurricanes, and why Sandy became a Super Storm. Attendees will learn about different research methods and questions scientists are using to study in the impacts of Sandy on the estuarine ecosystem. Learn about different lessons to use in the classrooms to teach students about Sandy and the potential ecological impacts of such a storm.
