We Bring Nature and Science Education to Our Community
Our mission is to promote public interest in and knowledge of science and natural history in order to increase our collective awareness of man’s relationship within his environment.
We act as an educational and informational resource for the surrounding area, specializing in the natural history of our local coastal and offshore areas and to relate issues of concern that pertain to those areas through our archives, displays, and outreach programs.
“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.”
- Rachel Carson
