Investigating coastal Biodiversity: a hybrid German-American Camp

Free Event- This camp will bring together students from Germany and Mississippi to explore coastal biodiversity in a culturally diverse setting.

Participants will stay on-site at Camp Wilkes July 7-13. They will learn about protecting coastal biodiversity and ecosystems by working with scientists from Germany and Mississippi on topics like nature-based solutions, environmental stewardship, and biomimicry.

We’ll go on hikes to learn how to identify the flora and fauna of an ecosystem, use drones and kayaks to create maps, take a boat trip to the barrier islands to measure climate change’s impact, plant indigenous vegetation to restore the coast’s natural protections, and learn from nature and its systems how we might address environmental degradation and the effects of climate change in the built environment.
