Part 3 - Line 4a
THE MARINE SCIENCE CENTER'S THREE MAIN PROGRAM SERVICE AREAS ARE: ENGAGING VISITORS THROUGH THE MUSEUM AND AQUARIUM; OFFERING LIFELONG LEARNING THROUGH EDUCATION PROGRAMS; AND COLLECTING VALUABLE DATA THROUGH COMMUNITY SCIENCE PROJECTS. IN 2020, DUE TO THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC, THE MARINE SCIENCE CENTER INNOVATED AND COLLABORATED IN NEW WAYS TO EMERGE EVEN STRONGER THAN BEFORE. DESPITE THE AQUARIUM BEING CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, VISITORS WERE ABLE TO VISIT VIRTUALLY THROUGH LIVE STREAMED TOURS ON FACEBOOK. OUR COMMITMENT TO NURTURING MARINE ANIMALS CONTINUED UNINTERRUPTED. OUR NEW LIGHT TRAP PROJECT ALLOWED US TO COLLECT AND COUNT LARVAL DUNGENESS CRAB TO BETTER ENABLE A SUSTAINABLE FISHERY. IT ALSO BROUGHT US MANY OTHER SPECIES, INCLUDING SYLVIA, A GIANT PACIFIC OCTOPUS THAT WE HAVE BEEN RAISING FROM THE PARALARVAL STAGE.WHEN SCHOOLS WERE CLOSED, WE REMAINED CONNECTED TO STUDENTS AND LIFELONG LEARNERS BY ADAPTING OUR PROGRAMS FOR ONLINE LEARNING. WE CREATED ONLINE AND DIY ACTIVITIES. OUR LOW TIDE WALKS ALSO WENT VIRTUAL, USING SOCIAL MEDIA.OUR SUPPORT FOR COMMUNITY SCIENCE NEVER WAVERED, WITH AMERICORPS TEAM MEMBERS FILLING IN WHEN VOLUNTEERS WERE UNABLE TO PARTICIPATE SO THAT VITAL PROGRAMS LIKE THE MARINE MAMMAL STRANDING NETWORK, SOUND TOXINS AND THE PROTECTION ISLAND AQUATIC RESERVE BIRD AND MAMMAL SURVEY WERE ABLE TO CONTINUE.THERE ARE MANY POSITIVE CHANGES ON THE HORIZON INCLUDING OPENING OF PHASE 1 AT THE NEWLY PURCHASED FLAGSHIP LANDING BUILDING ON WATER STREET IN THE SPRING OF 2022. A MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE RENOVATION OF THE FLAGSHIP LANDING BUILDING, "PHASE II", LIES YEARS AHEAD. THIS PLANNING WILL INCLUDE REPURPOSING OUR EXISTING MUSEUM BUILDING AT FORT WORDEN INTO OUR FIELD STATION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEARING.
