#1 SEAL WATCHES
Enjoy the educational adventure experience of the season !
The captain and crew of the “Sea Princess” offer a unique opportunity to see this endangered species of marine mammals, recently returned to Narragansett Bay after an almost fifteen year absence. In the safety and comfort of this motor vessel groups of up to thirty students their teachers and chaperons can see the seals off Fox Island just outside Wickford harbor in their natural habitat. Our onboard marine biologist from Biomes can explain details of the seals and their habits, and guide students in related activities.
#2 ANIMALS OF NARRAGANSETT BAY
See the animals of Narragansett Bay up close and personal aboard the “Sea Princess”. On this cruise, the crew will haul an otter trawl. An onboard biologist from Biomes will then teach your class about the animals that are retrieved from the Bay
