Some students remembered him from previous visits and were excited for a new science lesson. They were particularly interested in the decline of crabs in our Bay and wanted to learn some of the key issues that have led to this decline. They also learned actions they can take to help the environment and ultimately help the blue crabs and other important critters in and around our Chesapeake Bay. The highlight of the visit was when the students got to touch a live crab at the end of the class! Thanks Holabird.

Mr. Bryan visited the White Marsh Library in Baltimore County for a fall series we are conducting across multiple Baltimore County Public Libraries.

Our "Outstanding Oysters" program was a fun visit to White Marsh. Both parents and kids were very engaged and asked interesting questions related to oysters in our Chesapeake Bay region. Participants also got to see several oyster artifacts, oyster lifecycle shells and even had the opportunity to see and touch a live oyster!

Thanks White Marsh and Trina for coming out to see the program in action. Want to catch another upcoming Outstanding Oyster program at a Baltimore County Library? Check out their events here - https://events.bcpl.info/events?n=2&term=oyster&r=months

Mr. Bryan, Ms Jen, and Ms Cathy returned to Pasadena Elementary School to visit with the 5th grade.

We shared the 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑷𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 program with the students, that was related to their "Eco-Advocates" unit they are studying related to environmental issues. They learned how certain materials are made, what items can be recycled, and even conducted their own student led data analysis of types of trash at a local "beach".

The students are now preparing stop animation videos related to the program and the unit they studied. We can't wait to see and hear how it goes.

Ms. Jen made her annual visit to present "Curious Crabs" to the PreK classes at Holabird Academy in Baltimore. They were so eager and excited to learn all about crabs. The students loved hearing a story, scuttling like crabs, singing a song about how crabs molt and seeing and touching live crabs. These bright kiddos even shared what they can do to protect where blue crabs live: "Put your trash in a trash can, don't throw it on the ground!" We can all make a difference, even if you're 4 years old! Thanks Dr. Chisholm and Holabird for having us back year after year!

For the September Harvest moon, Mr. Bryan took a group of paddlers out to experience a night on Back Creek. We were lucky to be joined by a local health and wellness group of women called The Umoya Well who wanted to learn more about the holistic qualities of a full moon paddle!

We had a great time discussing not only moon mythology but also some interesting science related to our Chesapeake Bay. The cloudy and windy conditions from the night before were gone, allowing for a great evening.

We enjoyed a terrific moonrise and great paddle in the moonlight. Thank you, Kevin, and the Capital SUP staff!

Mr. Bryan led a group on Back Creek for the August full moon paddle at Capital SUP, known as the Sturgeon Moon.

The Sturgeon Moon name comes from the abundance of this fish in the Great Lakes region during August. Although we didn't see any sturgeon we did see some great egrets in a shallow cove! We had a very fortunate night; the predicted storms stayed far north. Although there was a fair amount of cloud cover we had about a 10 minute window after the moonrise to catch a glimpse of the Sturgeon Moon! Thank you to Capital SUP for the partnership with this event.

𝑷𝒔𝒔𝒕. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝑻𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕? Hopefully you can come down to Eastport for the last summer full moon paddle!

If conditions allow, you will see the rise of the Sturgeon Moon and learn why it is called so. Our friends Capital SUP will host, and Mr. Bryan will be your tour guide. If you've been thinking of getting out on the water this summer for a FMP, this is your last chance! Grab a friend and join us this Thursday at 7 PM for a memorable night on Back Creek at Nautilus Point.
