Seabird Study Boat Trip

Morro Coast Audubon Society, in partnership with Cal Poly State University and the Marine Interest Group (MIG) invite the public out on a Pelagic Boat Trip to observe a seabird study conducted by graduate student Katie Gordon. Learn how this scientific study is designed to identify species and quantify abundance of ocean birds that come to the waters of Estero Bay. Your guide, Kara Hagedorn, will share natural history information and help with bird and marine mammal identification on this full day ocean adventure.

This is an exciting opportunity to see several species of shearwaters, jaegers, and other pelagic birds that rarely come to shore. Gray whales, dolphins, and sea otters are also likely. The Pacific Horizon, a 60 ft fishing boat with a galley and indoor seating, will be taking us out.

When:

Monday, July 25, 9am-5pm
Sunday, October 16, 7am-3pm

Where: We'll leave from Port San Luis in Avila Beach and follow the coast north to Estero Bay

Cost: $65 for adults, $45 for enrolled college students, and for children up to18 years old.
