Five fantastic days at the Peterson Bay Field Station where five youth explored how climate change is affecting Kachemak Bay. Highlights included a hike to Grewingk Glacier with expert Ed Berg, an On-Board Oceanography cruise with Bay Excursions after an evening of learning about currents and ocean chemistry with NOAA/UAF Kasitsna Bay Laboratory director Kris Holderied, and an afternoon of kayaking with St. Augustine's Kayak Tours. Campers saw glaciers melting right before their eyes, got up close and personal with vulnerable marine organisms as they explored the delicately balanced intertidal ecosystem of China Poot Bay, and networked with young people in Louisiana who are doing their part to fight against the impacts of climate change in the Gulf Coast. The group topped it all off by producing a video communicating what they've learned about climate change, and what it means for Alaska, Alaskans, and the rest of the world.
