点评:We were a group of 6 mostly seniors that had a wonderful time on the hour and a half Wildlife Boat Tour of Tampa Bay. Our crew of Captain Mel, Darrin and Natalie were all excellent at explaining various things about Tampa Bay and the creatures that resided there. Over a grass bed they did a 3 minute trawl with a net to see a sample of the sea life living there. The fish were the same as the fish netted on an earlier tour so they were returned to the grass bed. They did find a sand dollar , a bivalve and the smallest Tulip shell I had ever seen. It was no more than a quarter of an inch long. After that we headed north in the bay looking for manatees or dolphins. Our captain found a pair of dolphins that that we watched for awhile. Then we proceeded to bird island in Coffee Pot Bayou and learned a lot about the birds living and nesting there. Then it was time to head back to the dock. Had a delightful time and learned a lot.
