The Pigeon Key Foundation offers marine science-based summer camps July 12 to 16 and Aug. 2 to 6 from the private island beneath the Old Seven Mile Bridge, between the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico.
Campers will explore marine habitats, learn to identify reef fish, study shark anatomy, dissection and much more.
There also will be guided snorkeling trips on the foundation's 40-foot catamaran and a competitive underwater obstacle course. Campers 10 years old and up can become certified divers through the program, as well.
For more information, call 203-500-7113 or go to http://www.Pigeonkey.net and click the events and forms link.

Gov. Charlie Crist is offering two free fishing weekends to help draw visitors to the states beaches. Both residents and tourists can fish for saltwater species around the state without a license from today to Monday, and on June 5 and 6.
All other fishing rules apply. Bookings have declined since the Gulf oil spill started on April 20, though oil has not directly impacted the state so far. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is monitoring the situation and potential impacts to the states fish and wildlife, said Chairman Rodney Baretto. Fishing organizations are concerned about inaccurate perceptions and want to get the message out that the industry is open for business. Go to http://www.MyFWC.com/Fishing to learn more.
