Sea Life Discovery Center News

Alot of activity at the center today. Dick and Katy Fralick came in to do a talk on the food web in the Gulf of Maine and also brought us a huge map of the worlds oceans to display at the center. Dick and Katy have been wonderful supporters of The Blue Ocean Society. For the past 3 years they have donated there time on The Atlantic Queen II in Rye helping us with our education, research and conservation efforts. They have also donated books to us, posters and the past 2 years have come to Salisbury to do lectures, all of us from The Blue Ocean Society thank them very much for there support and in us as an organization and our mission, we are happy to call them friends!! We also made whale origami's today, Erin was kept busy with all the folding and patience it takes to teach 2-5 year olds how to make them. Our friend Chuck Rosa from "Chuckys Fight" (www.chuckysfight.com) had given us some dog tag necklaces to teach kids to stay away from drugs, Chuck jumps into the ocean every day 365 days a year to spread awareness of the devastating effect of drugs, he and his family are an inspiration! In order to receive the necklace you need to sign a pledge you will stay away from drugs. Kyle Espinola, Joey Espinola, and their cousin Cody Christian took the pledge today and earned there dog tags! Great job boys!
