Catalina Above and Below

 
 
Saturday, June 11, 2011
6:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Join Cabrillo Marine Aquarium on a scientific observation and collecting expedition to Catalina Island on Sunday, June 12, 2010. “Catalina Above And Below” is one of the Aquarium’s most popular boat trips.

During the crossing and throughout the trip, staff will be on the lookout for marine birds, dolphins, whales, sea lions, seals and wide variety of other marine animals. Passengers will have an opportunity to assist staff in pulling up special hagfish traps that have been set the day before. Captured animals will be placed in a wading pool for close-up observation and study. Collected specimens are either released unharmed into the sea or put on display at the aquarium. A highlight of the trip will be a controlled shark baiting to lure these majestic and misunderstood animals to the surface for close-up observation, and tagging for future study. Upon arriving at Catalina, passengers will have a chance to disembark the vessel and explore the isthmus, a remote part of the island seldom visited by tourists.

Cost is $95 per person ($85 for FCMA members).
