CBF Online Watershed Learning (OWL) Premiere: Fish Adaptations

Join us for the webinar premiere of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation Online Watershed Learning (OWL) program! Experience how CBF brings environmental education to life for students in our newly launched CBF OWL program.

It’s Rocktober and the rockfish are living it up in the Chesapeake Bay! Did you know they are always dressed for a good swim party? Their stripes and pointy fins are fashion with a purpose. A purpose with a distinct connection to surviving and thriving in our local waterways.

Join CBF’s Education department for an engaging CBF OWL program to explore fish adaptations in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem—the good, the bad, and the ugly! See how different fish dress themselves up according to where they live, who they eat, and who preys upon them.  Learn how to make observations about the placement, size, and shape of fish fins, eyes, and mouth and uncover the reasons behind their scale coloration and pattern. By the end of this webinar, attendees will not only know why rockfish fins are so sharp but will also learn more about the Chesapeake Bay and its rivers and streams.
