The Marine Life Sanctuary Society of BC (MLSS) and Bowen Nature Club invites everyone to to Mt Gardner Dock on Saturday June 14th for the Annual Nature Dive. A line-up of volunteer divers and marine biologists will be there to help showcase some of Bowen’s undersea neighbours.
Divers will collect some of the hardier types of marine creatures and place them in plastic tanks on the beach. Marine biologists and naturalists will be on hand to explain what is on display and their role in the ecosystem. An underwater camera will be set up under the dock and a microscope will be available for inspecting some of the smaller wonders found in local waters.
Please dress for the weather and a day on a rocky beach. As always parking is extremely limited so people are encouraged to carpool or consider Bowen Transit. There is a regularly scheduled bus departing Snug Cove at 11a.m. with a stop at Woods Road /Endswell Farm, returning from the same location is 1:15p.m.
As in previous years this is a free event but MLSS will be accepting donations or memberships to help cover out of pocket expenses for volunteers. Donations over $20 will be issued a tax receipt in the mail.
