Now in its fourth year, this hugely popular, all-age, hands-on event is a celebration of the marine life in the waters surrounding our five boroughs. Top marine biologists and scientists work with families and kids to discover–and count–the many species of fish and marine creatures (even seahorses) right here in our own city waterways.

No net needed. Everything is provided, including waders. Just head on down and help count!

Advance registration is appreciated.
