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 Monomoy Beach (parking lot at 41.27865° N, 70.08286° W) 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. 

This event is part of the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative’s 20th anniversary celebration week.
