Biscayne National Park
Distance Learning Opportunities
Biscayne National Park is a great place to come on a field trip or to explore on your own, but not everyone lives close enough to get to the park. So what's the next-best thing? How about a virtual visit? There are two electronic field trips available:
 

Wreck Ashore! Electronic Field Trip

Join underwater archaeologist and park ranger Brenda to explore Biscayne's shipwreck heritage. Where were the ships coming from? What were they carrying? Why are there so many shipwrecks in the park? You'll discover the answers to these questions and more in this interactive experience.

Did You Know?
When exploring Biscayne National Park's coral reefs, don't forget to slow down and take note of some of the small wonders. Turtles, sharks and shipwrecks are great, but don't miss flamingo tongue snails, Christmas tree worms and mermaid's wineglasses.
