Tunnel of Mud
It’s a dirty fact, but true, mud is at the bottom of everything in the Bay! The unique construction of this exhibit gives visitors the worm’s-eye-view of Life in the Mud and Life in the Water. It begins with a crawl into a darkened tunnel that looks, feels and smells like the home of the Bay’s infamous Inn Keeper Worm. Observe not only the worms, clams and ghost shrimp of this muddy habitat, but the creatures that feed on it as well. "Mud facts" will enlighten visitors on this vital link in the Bay’s life cycle.
