marine ecology

The Marine Ecology Program (MEP) is a hands-on outdoor education program. Led by our knowledgeable intructors, the MEP is suitable for all ages and can be customized to suit the needs of your group or grade level. We recieve school students, youth groups, summer camps, university classes, and adult groups interested in seeing and learning about coastal wildlife.

Explore the coast, see wildlife including marine invertebrates and mammals, and experience what it is like being a field biologist! Situated on a pristine stretch of Sonoma County coastline, Fort Ross boasts abundant marine mammals, rocky intertidal zones, sandy beaches, and waters protected by Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.
