“There is no better way to get a feel for the rich biodiversity of Long Island Sound than aboard our floating classroom for a Marine Life Encounter Cruise,” said Captain Nicki Rosenfeld. “We are excited to welcome guests to join us for this hands-on experience that explores the many habitats within the Sound.”

With help from passengers, three samples are collected from the water on each cruise — bringing up plankton, fish, crabs, mollusks, and more.
