Sea Life Discovery Center opens with hundreds visiting

Saturday June 26th was our opening day at our "Sea Life Discovery Center" on Salisbury Beach. It was a very successful opening day! Our new state of the art touch was running and full of interesting critters and sea weeds for visitors to learn about. Our summer intern Heather had our enviroscape going under a tent to explain to folks the effects of run off and chemicals that end up in our oceans. Many people were interested in our real bones and baleen which everyone can touch and learn more about. Our walls area adorned with fantastic artwork from past and present interns, you feel like you are under water!! Our marine debris table is teaching folks about the dangers of debris in the ocean and on our beaches. We had our inflatable whale inside the "Blue Ocean Music Hall" whale sounds were being played on there sound system which really made you feel you were among the whales. Our intern Erin made some great art and crafts with all our visitors making mobiles and mini aquarium's! Jason our touch tank educator was VERY busy talking constantly to visitors about our new friends in the tank. Thank you to all of our visitors and your support and your great questions and your encouraging support of the Blue Ocean Society's mission. We are open for the summer Wednesday-Sunday 10-3. Wednesday is beach clean-up day with story time from 11-11:30, stop in to see us!
