SUMMARY:Kayak Tour of the Galveston Bay Estuary
DESCRIPTION:Kayak Tour of the Galveston Bay Estuary\, a guided kayak tour about the range of salinity levels and corresponding plant communities in the salt marshes of Galveston Bay at Galveston Island State Park. Plants signal ecosystem conditions; they exist on long timescales and big geographies\, making them quiet messengers of changes in our environment. Led by Falon Mihalic and a State Park Ecologist\, the kayak tour gives a view into the environs of our estuary and its unique role in making Houston a biodiversity hotspot. \nWhat’s Included: \n\nFree gear (kayak\, paddle\, life jacket)\nSafety + paddling intro\nGuided 1.5-hour trip over seagrass beds and shallow bay waters\nEnvironmental education with a trained guide\nSmall group experience (under 17 people)\n\nKnow Before You Go: \n\nAges 13+ only\nPark entry fee required\nIt’s very important to wear close-toed shoes.
