 This is Blair Bazderich for This Week in Science coming to you from the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. Let's go inside. What's happening? What's happening? I'm here with Carl Caronza who works at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium with our Sea Rangers here in San Pedro. So tell me about the Sea Rangers. Sea Ranger program is a volunteer program here at Cabrillo Aquarium for people from fifth grade to adult. And what we do is we train these volunteers to be coastal park naturalists and help us with many of our activities throughout the coastal park. That's so great and what's your favorite part about working with those kids? Oh, just giving them the experience of learning about the different parts of our coastal park like the tide pools or the salt marsh and then having them feel confident enough to be able to talk to complete strangers and tell them with confidence about some of the things they've learned. And of course, as they do that, they get more confident and they learn more and so it's just really, really nice. And the Southern California coast is so special and there are so many people that live here and they have no idea what's just off the coast there. What makes this space so special? Basically we have a lot of different habitats here and life here because of the two water masses coming together, the cold water from the north, warm water from the south and what that winds up doing is creating a lot of food, it brings a lot of different animals and then consequently the harbor, which would have been a wetlands back a couple hundred years ago was also a great nursery for fish. So all these things coming together still bring a lot of life here, birds and the fish and mammals and everything here. And it's just a phenomenal place to see life and to learn more about the ocean environment. And so if you wanted to find out more about this program, they're lovingly called the Sea Rangers but it's actually called what's the program's name? The program is the Sea Ranger program. The individuals are coastal park naturalists because what they're doing is being naturalists for the public out in our coastal park areas. That's great and so they're learning all about it but they're teaching others through that. They're also learning how to teach, I'm sure, which is great. The more naturalists we can get out there, the better. Definitely and I always tell them the best way to learn about something is to teach other people because that's going to make you learn more and then you're going to want to share that. So if you're ever in San Pedro walking along the beach, you might run into some teenagers or even some younger kids who can tell you all about the wildlife there, ask them all the questions you can. Thanks so much. Thank you. You can follow this week in Science on Twitter, at Twist Science. You can watch past episodes or join forums at www.twist.org.
