What we are doing tomorrow - field trip to the Berkeley Marina!

Hi everyone,

Let us meet here at the school tomorrow, no later than 9:00 a.m. We will leave the school around 9:30, take the 51 bus down to the Berkeley Marina, walk around, look at some of the native flora and fauna as well as enjoy the views, the fresh air and some of the local landmarks there. Afterwards, we will walk to the Seabreeze Café, grab some lunch (they make YUMMY sandwiches), we will eat there and then walk over the freeway to 6th and University where we will catch the bus back to downtown Berkely.

If you want to stay on that side of town and explore 4th Street you will be free to do so instead of coming up to the school. I personally will need to take the bus back up and get back to the downtown area by 12:45.

Remember to wear comfortable clothing and shoes, also wear whatever protection you need for the sun (sunglasses, hats, sunscreen) and please bring a bottle of water to hydrate!

See you in the morning, looking forward to our field trip together!

  1. Hi everyone, here is an article I found of interest to the marina. It talks about all the invasive species that have made their home in the estuarine waters. Please copy and paste and check it out. I couldn't create a link for some reason.

  2. Also, btw, the article is quite dated: 1996, but I think it is still relevant today.
