Sea Lab Notes

The Estuarium hosted the Traveling Pants: Delta Denim from July 10 to August 29. These colorful denim designs were created in an art competition hosted by the Eastern Shore Art Center and the 5 Rivers Earth Fest this year.  The theme was “What do you treasure about Mobile Bay and its surrounding lands?”  Over 600 entries from Mobile and Baldwin counties have been narrowed down to 44 for this unique display of creative art and environmental science.

The Discovery Hall Programs (DHP) recently received an Alabama Senate Resolution commending the staff for providing “an academically sound experience for Alabama’s students” and “dynamic hands-on adventures in marine science.”

Thanks to ExxonMobil for their donation to the Sea Lab in support of Discovery Hall Programs and the Community Summer Jobs Program (see article page 2). 

Thanks to the Arkema Science Teacher Program for their recent donation to the Estuarium.
