PUBLIC EDUCATION: Adult and Family Education

 


All are welcome! Our Adult and Family Education programs and non-credit Workshop Options offer participants a chance to experience the exciting world of marine science in a remote and unique, island setting. Shoals alumni are encouraged to join us for any and all of these programs -- it's a great way to get back to Appledore Island!
