A World in a Drop of Seawater
Keri Kaczor, Marine Professional with University of Maine Cooperative Extension, will lead this workshop that explores the beauty, diversity and ecological significance of marine phytoplankton. Participants will get hands-on with microscopes to view the tiny phytoplankton, learning about harmful algal blooms and ocean food webs. Come learn how to build your own phytoplankton replica. All ages are welcome. Children under 8 should be accompanied by an adult.
