Welcome to Camp WET!
This morning we met our counselors, discovered new friends in our teams, and took off to Stuart Beach for a COOL OFF!
Stuart Beach had some great chest-high waves today in the Atlantic and we sure did enjoy them! We also found a few different types of algae that drifted by Camp WET.
We discovered that dune plants are important to the beaches. They work hard to keep the sand in place and protect Florida's mainland.
These sea oats are so vital to the dune ecosystem that you may be heavily fined if you disturb them in any way.We then traveled to the Indian River Lagoon for some seining in the grassflats.
Our finds included pinfish, seahorses, mojarra, barracuda, shrimp and pipefish.
