Geocache Description:


This is part of a 5-cache series, located on the Coastal Science Campus of UC Santa Cruz. The 5 caches are themed around larval fish ecology. Pick up a geocache "passport" at the front desk of the Seymour Marine Discovery Center (100 McAllister Way). If you locate all 5 caches, you can turn in your passport to the front desk for a commemorative wooden token! Have fun learning about baby fishes!

Note that the Seymour Center is open 10 AM-4PM Tuesday-Sundays (open Mondays in the summertime; check the website for the most up-to-date information). All parking lots are enforced by ParkMobile/UC Santa Cruz -- parking is enforced 8AM-5 PM Monday-Friday; parking is free on weekends and in Lot 207 at the entrance to the Coastal Science Campus

The fourth geocache is located near the entrance of the Coastal Science Campus.

NOTE: this cache is smaller and more discreet than the others in the series (also watch out for spiders! They seem to like building webs near this one). If you're trying to find all 5 in order, hopefully you're ready for a little challenge! If you're completing the passport, there's no stamp in this cache. Instead, please draw a cool animal or plant you see nearby on your passport. :)
