'FINVASION'
There’s something fishy in our water and its causing scales of destruction and swimming against the ecosystem.
Snakeheads and Blue Cats - oh my!
What’s the catch?
Blue Catfish are decimating fish populations across Maryland, and we need your help to address the issue

· Identify invasive species such as the Northern Snakehead and Blue Catfish

SIP OF SCIENCE SERIES:
'Through Time'
The Evolving Relationship Between
Language, Land & Shoreline
An archaeological hands-on lecture that uncovers the hidden paths guided by Archeologist, Aaron Levinthal, Maryland Park Service. This journey uncovers how generations before us understood and described the world around them. The history of land use over 15,000 years, with stories woven throughout the Shore and written into the landscape.
As coastlines moved, so did communities. As environments changed, so did the language used to define them. Not just in what we see, but in what has shifted, settled, and sometimes disappeared. From shorelines to changing waters and landscapes, participants will explore how people have shaped the environment pre-contact and historic communities, reminding us that the relationship between people and place has always been evolving. Let’s explore what our mark is in history.
Together, these experiences form something larger than a series.
They create a pathway, and one that connects land, water, and life. One that invites us not just to learn, but to participate. To observe, to question, and ultimately, to care more deeply. Because when we begin to see how everything flows together, we begin to understand.
And that’s where real stewardship begins!
