Science Communication
The Laguna Ocean Foundation was founded in 2003 and strives to optimize the health of Laguna Beach's vital coastal ecosystems through science, education, and community involvement. As a TideWater Docent, I help to educate beachgoers of all ages about tide pools, the organisms living here in southern California, and how to explore the rocky intertidal ecosystem within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs).
