Tule Reed Boat
Students paddling the tule boat they made in the Tomales Bay estuary where
they launched at Heart’s Desire beach and paddled to the recreated Miwok
village where they participated in Miwok crafts related to the estuary and
studied the importance of the Gulf Farallones Marine Sanctuary to the
protection of the Lagunitas and San Geronimo watershed for coho salmon.
