Catalina Island Marine Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Catalina Island Marine Institute is a non-profit educational program run by Guided Discoveries on Santa Catalina Island, California. Thousands of children travel from the Southern California mainland to Catalina every year to study marine biology. They participate in hands-on programs including snorkeling, labs, boat rides, squid dissections, and more. Attractions on Catalina Island include Toyon Bay, Fox Landing, Cherry Cove, and Campus by the Sea (at Gallagher's Cove). There are also summer camps during the summer.
