The purpose of this class is to help residents of Franklin and neighboring counties understand the value of this connected ecosystem. Participants will learn about the ecology, culture, and history of the Apalachicola River and Bay and appreciate the value of these systems. After the in-class portion, participants will embark on a journey aboard the Reserve’s research vessel to get an up-close look at some of the ecosystems.
