Marine Science Experience: What is Marine Science & Why is It Important?

Massachusetts’ North Shore is historically, culturally and economically linked with the ocean. More recently, the ecological importance of coastal waters has been recognized. Salem State University and its Cat Cove Marine Laboratory acknowledge the traditional, biological and social importance of our coastal waters. Methods to preserve, manage and utilize this treasured resource are developed and disseminated at the Laboratory. Participants in Trails & Sails will tour the Laboratory, learn about its relevance and gain insight into how some of their tax dollars are being spent. The visit is interactive; be prepared to ask questions, feed fish, handle shellfish and creepy crawlers. nLearn more here. n Source: https://www.salem.org/event/marine-science-experience-what-is-marine-science-why-is-it-important/
