Upon entering the Interpretive Center the first exhibit to catch the visitor’s eye is Life in the Estuary. This magnificent estuarine aquarium is combined with bas-relief sculpture that depicts the unique quality of an estuary – the mixing of fresh and salt water. The exhibit details a crucial estuary food web. The microscopic organisms that are truly the basis of life in the Bay are projected from a microscope and displayed on a 36-inch color monitor for ease of viewing and discussion.
