Climb aboard the UGA Aquarium’s research vessel, the R/V Sea Dawg, for a trawl in Wassaw Sound! Participants will actively contribute to marine sampling efforts by working alongside marine educators to collect, sort, and identify a variety of marine organisms collected as part of the trawl. All data collected contributes to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ marine inventory record, supporting long-term monitoring of local species.  

This program also introduces Trawl to Trash, an initiative aimed at preventing marine debris from entering coastal ecosystems. Participants will learn about the negative impacts of marine debris on wildlife and habitats and explore the use of Trawl to Trash bags, created from recycled shrimp nets, to collect and remove debris. Each participant will have the opportunity to construct their own bag to take home and use for collecting trash along Georgia’s coast.  

Children ages 10 and up are welcome but must be accompanied by a registered adult. Registration is required and includes admission to the UGA Aquarium.  

Cost: $20/person 

All program fees are nonrefundable
