Water Day at MOSH

On February 7, Amanda Hardy and I represented the nature center at the Water Education Day at the Museum of Science and History (MOSH). It was a day of free admission to the museum with various community organizations providing interactive displays to teach the importance of water education and conservation. We brought along Trash Turtle, who's made of trash we've found on the beach. He reminds us that litter could end up in the ocean to the detriment of sea animals. Especially harmful are plastic bags and balloons, which look like jellyfish in the water to leatherback sea turtles and can be swallowed. We also had mystery boxes with items from our Beach Bounty tour inside...which had kids and adults puzzled!
