Species At Risk: Abalone

Go along on an underwater scavenger hunt in search of wild abalone and help scientists at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre learn about their dwindling population. You will get a chance to learn more about the biology of these unique molluscs, and put the scientific method to use by performing behavioral experiments on abalone in their natural habitats.
