A Magical Adventure for Girl Up Club

Saturday, November 5th, Manatee Middle School’s Girl Up club boarded the magical Dolphin Explorer out of Rose Marina for a fun-filled learning adventure. During their voyage, they learned about wildlife and mangroves in the area. Bob McConville, the Master Naturalist and tour guide, shared his true passion for wildlife, especially dolphins, with the enthusiastic listeners. Throughout the trip, they spotted ospreys, terns, jellyfish, and of course, dolphins! The girls were intrigued to find out that dolphins can be identified by their dorsal fins which have unique grooves and marks from the nips of other dolphins. Overall, they are very thankful to Bob and the Dolphin Explorer to have had this opportunity and experience this memorable adventure. It was fin-tastic!
