The Discovery Voyage Program takes students on a four-hour, hands-on exploration of the San Francisco Bay Estuary.  For the younger students, the Shoreside Programs emulate the shipboard science curriculum from the shore in our waterfront classrooms and lab.  Our outreach programs bring live marine animals out to the schools.  We serve approximately 50,000 students and adults per year, most of who are from the Greater Bay Area.
