Kids Seining Delaware Bay at the Bayshore Center

Join us Saturday, June 13th for Kids Seining Delaware Bay, an exciting outdoor exploration program at the Bayshore Center at Bivalve.

During this hands-on adventure, children and families will explore the Delaware Bayshore while learning about the wildlife and natural features that make our region unique. Participants will enjoy a guided nature walk while exploring the unique wildlife, habitats, and natural beauty of the Bayshore. Along the way, they’ll learn about the plants and animals that call the Delaware Bay home.

Kids Seining Delaware Bay: Explore the Bayshore Up Close

Additionally, if conditions allow, our staff will demonstrate the use of a seine net along the shoreline. A seine net is a special fishing net used to safely collect and observe small fish, crabs, shrimp, and other animals that live in the Delaware Bay. Afterward, we’ll take a closer look at what we find and learn about the animals that live along the shoreline.

This interactive experience lets children see local marine life up close. At the same time, they’ll learn why healthy coastal ecosystems are important.

Meanwhile, whether you’re spotting wildlife along the marsh or searching for creatures in the water, there’s something for everyone. Most importantly, it’s a fun way to connect with nature.
