#OceanRunnerNH: What’s the clamor about that Clam?

Posted on December 9, 2016

Ocean Runner Nichole and her son Jack were out running on Old Orchard Beach in Maine when Jack came across a giant clam shell. Not sure what species the clam was, Nichole brings a photograph of it back to the Seacoast Science Center to learn more about it from Aquarist Rob Royer.

Help Ocean Runner fund a new program, Healthy Ocean or Bust Bandits, a community action ocean conservation program to be launched in 2017, that will inspire children to design, organize and promote mini-campaigns to educate and motivate citizens to think blue (or green), by donating here.
