MERI Center for Marine Studies’ ocean room presents an opportunity for experiential learning. With an interactive touch tank and other aquariums featuring a friendly lumpfish named Norman, as well as lobsters, crabs, sea anemones, sea stars, mussels, fish and other species native to the Gulf of Maine, MERI promotes shared knowledge and appreciation of marine life.
“For teachers and schools, the Ocean Aquarium builds excitement about marine science education in the classroom. Above all, the Ocean Aquarium was designed to appeal to our children. The more they understand and feel connected with ocean life, the more deeply they will care about what happens to our oceans and the quality of life along our coast.”
MERI’s vision has been created to have a dynamic marine science center that will increase our understanding of the Gulf of Maine and lasting positive impact on our community and the oceans. Touch-Tank thinks they succeed, visit the ocean aquarium at the MERI center today, you’ll be happy that you did.
