Science Hatchery is a special program that provides research experiences in a marine nursery. During our 90 minute experience we teach K-12 grade level students how to foster and nurture local marine animals in our Aquatic Nursery, a unique laboratory-on-exhibit where we grow young sea animals AND young scientists. Students can exercise their investigative skills as they conduct short sampling and measurement activities focused on baby animals that are raised for conservation, food, or research.
