Summer 2013

It's that time again. The long harsh winter is finally over, and the warm days of summer are just around the corner (if they haven't arrived already). Here at Blue Ocean Society we are getting ready for the summer season of whale watches, beach cleanups, and tide pool animals at our touch tank in Portsmouth, NH.  Come learn about and gently touch live marine animals from the Gulf of Maine!

The tank is up and running for the season, and we are having a special opening on June 1, 2013 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. before the official season starts. The special opening is part of the Portsmouth Opening Weekend, Live Free & Play events June 1 and June 2. 

At the special opening the tank will be open and free to the public. At 1:00 p.m. there will be story time followed by a take home craft. Come down to visit and check out which critters we have in the tank for the 2013 season. We currently have rock crabs, jonah crabs, periwinkles, hermit crabs and more! The tank is located at the Isles of Shoals Steamship Company dock at 315 Market Street, Portsmouth, NH. If you have any questions feel free to email info@blueoceansociety.org or call the office at (603) 431-0260.

If you can't make it this weekend, come back sometime this summer. Things are always changing at the touch tank, and you never know what you'll get to see next!
