Nature Explorers Club at Busch Annapolis

Our big world contains many small worlds. Get an up-close look at a piece of our planet by joining the Nature Explorers Club. Each month we'll investigate an aspect of the ecosystem through presentations, conversations about environmental justice, active games or hands-on activities. This month: Blue Crab 101. Blue crabs are one of the most well known and important animals that live in the Chesapeake Bay. During this program participants will learn about the blue crab’s role in the seafood industry and how watermen harvest them. This activity will discuss how blue crabs grow, their life cycle and what part they play in the Bay’s ecosystem. This hands-on and engaging program will allow participants to take a closer look at crab shells and see and touch a live blue crab. Live animal included if available.  For ages 7-11.
