One
of The New Jersey Fresh Seafood Festival's major goal is to educate
people about the ocean environment. One of the ways we accomplish that
is through live exhibits and interactive, hands-on demonstrations. At
The Marine Science Pavilion, the Marine science department
at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey brings aquariums, touch
tanks and many other exhibits to help young and old alike gain a greater
understanding of the New Jersey coastal waters and the creatures that
inhabit them. Other organizations including the Marine Mammal Stranding
Center provide informative, interactive exhibits that make conservation
and preservation easy to understand. When visiting the festival this
year, be sure to stop by and see our educational exhibitors. Knowledgeable,
committed scientists and volunteers will be on hand all day to help
bring the New Jersey's ocean, back bays and its
inhabitants to life for you and your family. In addition to festival
exhibits, The New Jersey Fresh Seafood Festival, in conjunction
with Nacote Creek Field Research Station at the
Richard Stockton College of New Jersey, presents a day of marine science
activities for local school children. Children from the Atlantic City
Boys and Girls Club will spend the morning visiting the Ocean Life Center
at Historic Gardner's Basin and enjoy an afternoon marine mammal excursion
aboard Cruisn' 1...all courtesy of the festival organization.
