Become a community scientist in this hands-on rocky shore field science program. Participant-collected data will contribute to local ongoing research on the impacts of invasive green crabs and help scientists identify new solutions to the problem … such as eating them! Our naturalists will give a brief training on crab identification, safe handling and data collection, then we’ll head to the rocky shore for a field investigation. Learn more and get tickets on our Nature Programs page. Program includes SSC admission.
