Crusty Critters-Crustaceans in the Estuary

Join us at 10am on Saturday, January 14th, 2017 at The University of Texas Marine Science Institute for “Crusty Critters-Crustaceans in the Estuary.”Crustaceans, such as blue crabs, hermit crabs, fiddler crabs and shrimps, are “crusty” because they wear their skeletons on the outside. We will learn about these important animals and discuss why they are so valuable to estuaries and humans alike. Participants of all ages will observe, interact and get hands on with these crusty critters to better understand their critical role in the estuaries.

We will meet at 10am in the Auditorium at The Marine Science Education Center. Please RSVP to Nicole Pringle at npringle@austin.utexas.edu
