 The TBBP has several research and education projects that
will be taking place during 2006. Additional Bioquests will
be planned for the spring and autumn. Plans for Community Restoration
Days are in the works and the TBBP hopes to facilitate
an Earth Day event on the Bay. If you have an idea for a biodiversity
project of your own, please see our Contacts page. Currently
planned events and projects are listed below.

- Three High School Summer Science Seminars will be held
at the Historic Lifeboat Station, Point Reyes National Seashore
