Join Our Day of Seaside Fun
The University of Texas Marine ScScience Institute in Port Aransas, Texas, will be opening its doors for the 8th Biennial Open House on June 14, 2008. Bring the family for a fun-filled day and learn about the sea, coastal bays and marshes, as well as the research that goes on at the Institute. Families can take part in Field Excursions into local bays aboard research vessels (see MSI’s website for specific requirements for field excursions). Take a guided tour of our Fisheries and Mariculture Laboratory, where redfish were first spawned in 1977, or take our Sex Hormones in Fish tour to discover how similar fish hormones are to our own. Learn how we rehabilitate injured birds and sea turtles at the Sea Turtles and Birds Exhibit. Get up close and personal with a wide variety of fishes, crabs, sea urchins, sea stars, and other marine life at our Pier Lab Touch Tanks. Enjoy the Ocean Theatre where Presidential award-winning teacher Pam Stryker excites kids as they learn about the lives of fishes, seahorses, crabs, and squid. Small children will love Here Fishy, Fishy: Fishing for Kids, Story Time in the MSI Library, and the Texas Parks & Wildlife Wetland on Wheels.
