Shellfish with the Marion Natural History Museum will be presented on August 18, from 9 to 12 for Grades 2 – 6. Can you tell a bivalve from a mollusk? We’ll be taking a look at the upwellers on Island Wharf, learning about oysters and other shellfish with Marion’s Shellfish Warden and hearing about the important role they play in the bay. We will also take a tour of some of the local aquaculture farms and visit Meadow Island with the Marion Harbormaster.
We’ll also be making fish print T-shirts. Please bring a clean cotton T-shirt or cloth the day of the program. To register for this program please visit our website: www.marionmuseum.org.
