Summer at the Aquarium – Weeks 3 and 4

All summer the Fundy Discovery Aquarium will be hosting a new interactive exhibit each week.  We are having lots of fun preparing for them!

Week 3 – July 16-22
Invasive Species Week: search for the invasive green crabs in the touch pool (they are good at hiding!), check out the periwinkle display, and take home some information on marine invasive species.

Week 4 – July 23-29
Seabird Week: view some of the amazing seabirds from our collection, conduct a seabird scavenger hunt (there might even be a prize!), and learn about the remarkable migration of some seabirds.

Also, each week there are children’s day camps on Wednesday and Saturday.  For more information about how to register visit our website www.huntsmanmarine.ca/aquarium or call (506) 529-1200.

Check out the pictures below for a taste of weeks 3 and 4.  Tomorrow I will post some information on weeks 5 (sharks!) and 6 (working on the water).

Marked green crabs. 
Will you be able to find them in the touch pool?

What or who made those holes?

Beautiful puffin.

The little world traveller.

Our first attempt to make a globe to show tern migration. 
Visit during Seabird Week to see the final product.
