Estuary Program What is an estuary? How does an estuary work? Choose the premier school program, The Estuary, and your students will explore and experience a whole range of California state science standards while answering these questions. For example, hiking up Whites Point in the wind and fog (a frequent occurrence), students will understand the transfer of solar energy into wind and moisture providing mineral nutrients for plant life in the estuary. Examining life in the Windy Cove mudflats, students will understand the transfer of energy from plants to animals as well as the importance of the estuary in the marine food chain. These outdoor experiences are reinforced by discussions and demonstrations in the intimate environment of the Learning Center and by a guided tour of the Museum of Natural History.

note that the Estuary Program works best at low tide times as more of the Windy
Cove mudflats are exposed. You might want to consult a tide chart for the dates
you are considering visiting the Museum. Click here
to see an on-line tide chart for Pismo Beach which isn't far from the museum.
