Bike to the Weep! February 12, 2011

Location: Alviso Marina County Park, Alviso. Join microbial ecologist Wayne Lanier, PhD in the Alviso Marina County Park parking lot on a short bike ride to study microbial communities. The weep is a shallow persistent pond fed by seepage. Over the year it undergoes very wide swings in salinity and the result is a uniquely rich microbial community of Cyanobacteria, Archeabacteria, Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, and protozoa. Boots are recommended! Ages 10 and up. RESERVATIONS REQUIRED. Call Debra at 408-262-5513 ext. 102.
