Send your pre-teen explorers back in time to the age of the giant prehistoric shark Carcharodon megalodon to discover how the North Carolina coast has changed over the years. While time-traveling through our coastal habitats back to the future, Trekkies will experience first-hand how the forces of nature have created the coastline that we see today.
Activities include:
- Field trips to the beach, marsh, fouling station, coquina outcrop, Cape Fear River, fossil quarry, NOAA weather station, local TV station, Snow’s Cut, and Center for Marine Science.
Highlights include:
- Kayak to a barrier island; participate in boogie board oceanography; use shallow water snorkeling to observe coastal erosion; discuss the effects of global warming and sea level rise; improve your map skills and learn how to use GPS; build wind turbines.
