Join the Maria Mitchell Aquarium Manager, Christina Norman, on a scalloping adventure! As we collect and observe bay scallops - we will learn all about their biology and the challenges they face. Waders, hand nets, and bathyscopes will be provided! This program meets at the Hither Creek Beach Access (near 25 Massachusetts Ave.) at listed time of the event. This trip requires a valid shellfish permit in order to take home bay scallops. For more information on obtaining an individual shellfish permit, visit the Town of Nantucket website. Pre-registration is required as this program meets off site.
