A building on stilts, overlooking the marsh. There are stakes and fencing in the marsh, where presumably science is happening!

Science on the Great Marsh - Green Crabs, Bacteria, Clams, and more with Marine Biological Laboratory

Did you know scientists are studying the Great Marsh right now? 

Visit one of the Marine Biological Laboratory field stations in Rowley where research teams from various universities study the marsh and its flora and fauna.

Anne Giblin, Senior Scientist and Director at The Ecosystems Center, will break down what the researchers have been studying, what they've found, and what that means for the Great Marsh right here on the North Shore. You'll learn about bacteria source tracking, clam proliferation, sediment accumulation, and the state of vegetation on the marsh. There will be time for questions after the presentation.

We can't wait to see you at this special peek behind the curtain of the research station!

There is a $2 fee to park, so signing up and carpooling with a friend is encouraged.

Seating limited to 20, so sign up early! Register to receive exact location in Rowley and parking information.
