Earth Day Activity @ CB 04-23-22 – Sponsored by the CBF
The CBF will sponsor an Earth Day activity at CB. We will have a kayaking nature tour of CB and surrounding estuaries led by renowned Naturalist, Bruce Bodson, President of CBF. This tour will touch on the benefits of estuaries and their importance to the environment and marine ecosystem. How the moon affects the tides and the movement of fish. Identify the various critters that live in the bay and shoreline and how they depend upon each other for survival in a challenging environment.
Bruce is an experienced birder and will point out the numerous birds that frequent the area including the extraordinary Roseate Spoonbill, the threatened Reddish Egret, Oystercatchers, Black Skimmers, and a host of other birds that inhabit the coastal estuary.
The tour will begin Sunday morning April 23 at 8 am until noon, where participants will meet at the Kayak Launch4 miles west of Seidler’s Boat Ramp off the Bluewater Hwy near Surfside Texas in Brazoria County. Directions will be included. Kayaks are provided with paddles, lifejacket, and a seat. A whistle will also be included and will be a memento of the trip.
