September 8 at The Discovery Center


Summer is coming to an end! So sad to think about as it was a fantastic summer both at our Sea Life Discovery Center and aboard our whale watching trips. Today the beach was so empty. Our neighbors were open selling bagels, our friends at Lee's Seafood were also open tending to the last beach goers of the season. I had not been in the center for while so I was shocked to see the size
of our lobsters! he has really grown, our crabs are doing well and were quite hungry today during feeding time. I must say my number one is educating people and meeting new people but aside from that I love feeding time. Erin and I were talking about how you get attached to each
of our "critters" We are closing for the season on Wednesday September 15Th, so come by and see us. Thank you to all who have visited and given us such encouraging words about our mission, we really appreciated it. Our biggest thanks goes out to the Capolupo family who have given us the space the past 2 years and who also purchased our amazing tank that everyone enjoyed so much! THANK YOU
