Smithsonian Science on the Bay: Spring Family Day
The Smithsonian Environmental Research Center is proud to present two new events (due to the major construction on our site we are hosting two small events instead of the one large Open House). These events will feature a spring and fall picnic and behind the scenes glimpse at our research and science. Visit with SERC researchers to learn about the invasive species that shouldn’t be in the Bay, hold a live horseshoe crab, and learn about how much mercury is in your fish. Visitors may also register for one of three one hour boat rides on the Rhode River ($5 person), try their hand at seining or crabbing, visit an oyster bar community and its creatures, or create a take-home craft. Bring a picnic lunch or register online for food from Panera. You may drive onsite for this event, but you must register online and print a front gate pass!

Spider Photograpny Survey

Please bring your own digital camera and a way to share your images such as a card reader, cord, or memory stick. This event is free, but suggested for ages 12+. This is not a how-to photography class, but a field survey of spiders and requires at least a basic working knowledge of your camera.
