On Friday, April 18, 2008 student interns from Galileo Academy of Science and Technology visited the Bay Model in Sausalito and toured the San Francisco Bay learning about marine ecology.  It was a cold and blustery morning on the Bay, but very exciting. We saw lots of wildlife, learned about Bay water quality and studied plankton. The program is part of a collaboration with Galileo Academy, the Crissy Field Center and the Urban Watershed Project. Many thanks to our partners at the Marine Mammal Center for funding and organizing the outing, for their professional instruction and for the great volunteers that accompanied us.  The internship program, now completing its first year, involves students in their second year of environmental science at the Presidio of San Francisco.  The environmental science program with Galileo Academy is in its seventh year of weekly instruction at the Presidio.
