Story time featured a cute tale by a school in Portsmouth about Mr. Wok's class and the adventures that his 5 students (Pinchers the hermit crab, Luna the sea star, Clapper the sea scallop, Fred the blue mussel, and Winky the periwinkle) go on. Pinchers was found missing one morning before class, and the other students and Mr. Wok (a rock crab) make their way out to the Isles of Shoals in search of their friend. Unfortunately they find Pinchers inside of a plastic Cocoa-Cola bottle! Please remember to take your trash with you when you leave the beach. Pinchers made it out okay, but we find lots of trash in our oceans that are hurting our marine friends.
We also took a count of all of the periwinkles in our tank. At the moment we have 28 periwinkles, but we think they may be multiplying! Keep an eye on this page to see if the number increases in the coming weeks. Hope to see you again at the touch tank soon!
Don't forget! It's public feeding time down at the touch tank on Friday at 10:00 am!
