Join us for a science adventure to remember!

Explore the dynamic mix of the Eastern Shore’s ecology, sciences, and technology through Science on the Shore, a new series that illustrates the unique nature of the Eastern Shore’s many scientific pursuits. Participants can hear lectures from the area’s leading scientists, participate in citizen science activities with natural resource managers, or get their hands dirty through service projects that benefit our region. Get ready for an educational journey that will take you deep beneath the waves, across our landscape, and into space.

The Science on the Shore series is a collaborative effort of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Marine Science Consortium (MSC), the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Nature Conservancy (TNC), and the Eastern Shore Community College (ESCC). This educational and fun program will provide the Eastern Shore community with an understanding of how local science-based research and preservation techniques are used to solve challenges that impact the nation.

Each organization will sponsor research and science activities, providing opportunities for hands on participation as well as chances to attend unique speaker series. Science on the Shore is your backstage pass to the amazing nature and science show that debuts anew every single day here on the beautiful Eastern Shore!
