Interactive presentation – Grades 6-12
Experience how glaciers, plate tectonics, isostatic rebound and sea level change have affected the locations of our local shorelines. Consider how archaeologists use this information to find evidence of people living on our coast over 10,000 years ago.
Interactive Presentation – Grades K-12
Have you ever tried gardening…in the ocean? At the very lowest tides of the year, which only occur in summer or winter when the moon is full or new, you may be treated to a glimpse of a ‘clam garden’. First Nations have been building and caring for these rock walled terraces for at least 3,500 years. Learn how the Clam Garden Network has been combining many ways of knowing (traditional and scientific) to advance our understanding of local mariculture.
