Beneath the Surface: A Look at the Marine Invertebrates of Lake Merritt
Where: Meet at the Lake Merritt Boating Center
568 Bellevue Ave, Oakland, CA 94610
When: September 19, 2-4 pm
Cost: FREE! $5-10 suggested donation.
Come explore with the California Center for Natural History! Get a look at the part of Lake Merritt you might
be unfamiliar with- the tiny critters beneath the lake's surface that
make up a pivotal part of the food web! Because of the close
proximity to Oakland's shipping port, we'll find organisms from
around the world. You can expect to see bizarre sea squirts,
astonishing polychaetes, cuddly sponges, and a surprising variety of
mollusks and bivalves. Bring sun block, drinking water, & your
camera.

"If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands."
