Cornell University in Ithaca reports that more than 200 local students participated in the Marine Summer Field Trip Program at Jones Beach this summer. The program is a collaboration among Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County, New York Sea Grant, and New York state. Participants had a chance to learn about ocean life and ecology by wading in the water, seining for fish and crabs, exploring sand dunes, and touring the Jones Beach Energy & Nature Center.

Michael Fiorentino, natural resources team leader for CCE Nassau County, said the program targets youth who do not have many opportunities to visit a beach. He noted that the students are especially excited when they see bait fish caught in the seine nets.
