52 years ago, the Marine Nature Study Area opened on the very first Earth Day in 1970. Through those years, its unique mission to "provide for education, research, preservation and management practices” has been fulfilled and continues to be fulfilled through the past and present staff. Plans for rebuilding and modernizing this facility are in motion and we look forward to sharing with you the unique changes to create a more user-friendly facility that can expand on educational programs and exhibits while maintaining an essential community atmosphere focused on our local environment.
