Happenings at the Touch Tank Mon. July 28th

So today was a fun day filled with a steady amount of visitors curious to see what was in our touch tank. Some of these visitors were passengers who had heard about the touch tank after being a passenger aboard one of our whale watches and others were people who had seen our sign and decided to stop by. Many of our visitors often have interesting questions about the critters in the tank and one question we were asked today was, do crabs hibernate? Other happens at the touch tank is our on going project to make a model of Jeffrey's Ledge. Right now the construction is underway and hopefully soon visitors can start to see the construction in progress.
