 More
than 75% of the chocolate consumed in the United States comes from
600,000 cocoa farms in Ivory Coast? The vast majority of West
African cocoa farmers live in abject poverty, although they provide a
product that is widely enjoyed in the U.S. and Europe. You can
begin to change this system of exploitation simply by purchasing only
Fair Trade chocolate!

 Bird
Programs The stately Great
Blue Heron and the gawky-looking Double-crested Cormorant are just two
of the many shoreline birds “junior birders” will see cavorting in their
natural setting as part of the Bird Program.
But the main focus of this program is the special adaptations birds have
undergone allowing them to survive in environments like the Morro Bay
Estuary. Using a great variety of live mounts and other specimens in the
intimate setting of the Learning Center,
docents help students understand the concept of adaptation by comparing
bird adaptations such as feathers, skeletal structure, bills, and feet.
Please note that it is desirable if students can bring binoculars for
better viewing of the estuary birds.
