Episode 9: Calvert Marine Museum Estuarine Biology - a podcast by Ayla Anderson

This week is something really special: our first-ever 3 part special! For the next three weeks, we will be at the Calvert Marine Museum in Southern Maryland featuring an episode for their Estuarine Biology Gallery,  Paleontology Gallery, and Maritime History Gallery. 

This episode will feature Perry Hampton, the Curator of the Estuarine Biology Gallery. For a neat change of pace, we will actually be discussing live animals this episode! 
We start by taking you through the River to Bay portion of their gallery which tells the story of what habitats and species can be found throughout the Chesapeake Bay. We also discuss some eco-invaders that threaten the Bay and fun facts about a key few animals housed at the exhibit (jellyfish, seahorses, lionfish, and even otters!).

Parts 2 and 3 of this series will feature the Paleontology Gallery and Maritime History Gallery at the Calvert Marine Museum, so stay tuned.
