This event offers a fabulous opportunity to meet scientists and students at the Labs and check out the world-renowned research and teaching facilities.
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Labs will be open for self-guided tours. Scientists and students will showcase their marine science research, answer questions and provide demonstrations. There will be posters, marine plants and animals, microscopes, plankton sampling and observations, and activities for visitors of all ages.
Venture out to the end of the dock! Visitors can step aboard and tour our 58’ research vessel, the R/V Centennial, and check out its remotely operated vehicle (ROV), oceanographic tools, and high-tech sonar systems. FHL divers will be demonstrating SCUBA. In keeping with FHL tradition, there will be fresh popped popcorn for one and all. (Light refreshments will also be available at the historic Dining Hall)
Scientific Lectures will be scheduled throughout the afternoon.
Sturdy shoes are recommended because the tour route includes rough dock planks, gravel paths and trails.
620 University Road, Friday Harbor. Parking is limited so carpools are encouraged.
