What is ecology? Why is the health of a certain habitat so crucial to a species survival? Students work together to establish a basic understanding of the concepts of ecology. They observe organisms from Oyster Bay first-hand from our live touch tank, and discover how they interact. Graphing skills are employed as students follow the history of the oyster and its changing population, with particular attention to the effects seeding and harvesting has had on other marine populations and the environment.
