Open House at the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in Santa Cruz

By Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center December 9, 2017

From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, December 9, USGS scientists treated visitors to displays about their research at the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in Santa Cruz, California.

We had interactive exhibits, video and photo displays, posters, deep-sea rocks and minerals, oceanographic equipment, and colorful handouts. Our first open house in 13 years, visitors poured in to the courtyard and lobby at 2885 Mission Street to learn about our science as part of the “Holiday Bazaar at the Wrigley Building.”
