CHNEP Offers Chance to Explore Estuaries Up Close and Personal

 

Muck about in the shallow waters of our local estuaries to see for yourself some of the aquatic critters that call these shallow waters home and you’ll quickly understand the importance of these waters. Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program is pleased to sponsor wading trips through several local environmental organizations. To register, contact the organization that is offering the program of interest to you. Dates are subject to change due to weather, etc. An updated list will always be posted on this page of the website at www.CHNEP.org. The wading trips listed on this page are scheduled between October 2009 and September 2010.
