Come extend the fun of NC Oyster Month past October with the Coastal Studies Institute. CSI is pleased to continue offering family-oriented programs during the months of November and December.
Exploring Oyster Ecology is an educational opportunity for families with children aged 5 and older to learn about the Eastern Oyster and its vital role in our estuaries. Participants will get an up-close look at live oysters, investigate the organisms they interact with, and head home with a craft, too! This program will finish with time to decorate an oyster holiday ornament. This program will be offered on November 15 and December 13 from 3:30 to 5:30 PM at the Coastal Studies Institute located at 850 NC 345, Wanchese, NC 27981.
Both sessions are open to the public with limited availability on a first-come, first-serve basis. The participation fee is $10/person. Registration is now open and will close the day before each program. For more information and any questions, please contact Lauren Kerlin at kerlinl22@ecu.edu or 252-475-5451.
