On August 18th, Nancy Balcom, Jessica LeClair and Judy Benson from the Connecticut Sea Grant program of the University of Connecticut will be leading this "hands on" outreach program.
Come meet face to face (and hand to claw) some of the more common marine plants and animals found in Long Island Sound waters! From snails to crabs, seaweed to sea squirts, enjoy an opportunity to touch and become more familiar with interesting critters. Learn a bit about how marine debris harms our waters and what simple steps you can take to ensure a trip to the beach is fun for your family while causing no harm.
This event will be taking place from 10 am - 3 pm at:
Westbrook Welcome Center
I-95 Northbound, Between exits 65 and 66
Westbrook, CT 06498
Admission is free!
