Participants will utilize  a variety of sampling  methods to collect marine organisms in Long Island Sound.  Participants will retrieve  a lobster trap to examine bycatch, haul in an otter trawl net in to explore benthic organisms,  tow a plankton net and sift  through a mud grab to search for infauna.

To prepare for this trip: Participants should wear closed toed shoes and dress for the weather.  Remember, it's typically colder and windier by the water.  Dressing in layers is recommended. Life jackets will be provided.
