SANIBEL-CAPTIVA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION

Captiva Cruises and the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation will offer an educational sunset birding cruise on March 4 from 5 to 7 p.m., departing from McCarthy’s Marina, at 11401 Andy Rosse Lane, Captiva. While cruising the Pine Island Sound, participants will hear about the ecology of the back bay estuary, learn about the SCCF’s shorebird monitoring program, watch birds coming in to roost, identify birds along the way and receive updates on the islands’ bird populations. Tickets are $45 per person and $35 for ages 2-12. The proceeds will help to support the SCCF’s program.
