Tampa Bay Estuary Program - Estuary Academy
Join us every fall for a fun-filled and educational day of lectures and workshops sponsored by the Tampa Bay Estuary Program and Weedon Island Preserve Cultural and Natural History Center. The Academy's mission is to introduce citizens to the wealth of scientific research currently conducted on, in and under Tampa Bay. The $15 registration fee includes lunch, goody bags, fabulous speakers, and a choice of terrific, hands-on workshops. Participants explore the microscopic life beneath the Bay, scoop up and identify the creatures found in seagrass beds, or take guided canoe tours to learn about the Preserve's diverse ecology. The Academy has something for everyone! Check our calendar for the next Estuary Academy.

In the evenings, on the third Thursday of each month, notable speakers present their current archaeological research on various statewide and regional topics.
