Sea creatures shine in coastal center program

The Jacques Cousteau Coastal Education Center, located at 130 Great Bay Blvd. in Tuckerton, will host a family-fun event, “Sea Creatures with Amazing Features,” on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 10 to 11 a.m.

The program will introduce participants to a variety of sea creatures, including crabs, sea stars, mussels, clams and other local sea critters that have adapted to living in the ocean or the bay. The event will be led by The Wetlands Institute, a nonprofit facility in Stone Harbor dedicated to the appreciation, understanding and stewardship of wetlands and coastal ecosystems through programs in research, education and conservation.

To register, call Education Coordinator Melanie Reding at 609-812-0649 extension 206.
