Marine Sanctuary, Recycle Station, Raise the Sail, Patti Jaquemain Mural
Families will have great fun exploring the kelp forest and learning about the many different species of fish that live among the kelp, and learning about the licensing process for fishing responsibly.
Raise the sail on the sailboat and learn how block and tackle are used. Try your hand at some arts and crafts, or take a closer look at how sorting your trash helps keep the oceans clean.
A beautiful mural by local artist Patti Jaquemain lines the wall and is a source of great enjoyment for those with an artistic eye. See how many different species of sea life you can identify!
