Activities:
South Browards High School Summer BEACH Program is for
incoming 9th graders. Each morning, students meet in the north bus parking loading area at 8:00 am. Transportation to and
from South Broward will not be provided. Once they arrive, the 24 accepted students are divided into four groups of six and
then travel by vans to four different locations for marine science activities. Those activities inculde coral reef studies
from local shorelines, fishing techniques, water quality monitoring, nearshore fisheries research and service learning activites.
Most of the program will take place at John U. Lloyd Beach State Recreational Beach Area in Dania Beach. The students will
be responsible for bringing their own lunch and beverages.
