MARINE LIFE CRUISES aboard the fishing vessel Skipper

Charlotte and her crab aboard one of the cruises.

Cruise from Oak Bluffs Harbor with Massachusetts Audubon Society naturalists to explore the waters of Vineyard Sound aboard the Coast Guard licensed vessel Skipper. We will tow a plankton net, use a scallop drag, and check lobster and fish traps for the diversity of crabs, fish and shellfish that live in Vineyard waters. Participants will have a chance to look at the catch up close and to try their hand at scup fishing if time permits. This cruise is a great way to experience the tranquility of the ocean at sunset while learning about this important ecosystem.

Tuesdays, July and August 5:30-7:30 p.m. Call Felix Neck for prices. Pre-registration required. Call Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary at (508) 627-4850 to register by 4 p.m. on day of trip.

Checking the scallop drag.
