This week at Patriots Point June 24th- June 28th

6/28/2019

 
​We have been prepping for the camps coming up after the 4th of July. The excitement level is through the roof as we are getting the activities ready for Camp Summer Scientist Career Spotlight: Marine Biologist camp. A lot of fun science is in store for our campers. We look forward to seeing what they create during camp as they learn about marine ecosystems.
​
In other exciting news our department has worked on a settling plate rack for BioDiscovery for a little while now and launched it today, June 28th! BioDiscovery is a program created through collaboration between Charleston County Parks and Recreation along with SC Sea Grant Consortium and Patriots Point is proud to be an official hub. These plates will collect organisms that land and subsequently grow attached to substrate, and they will ultimately attract more animals. Things we expect to see are barnacles, anemones and sea squirts. This “biorack” attached to our education dock will be getting checked on regularly. Once organisms start growing, we will be viewing them under a dissecting microscope. It will be interesting to see what is there.
