Imagine an interactive learning center about estuaries and marine environments of South Puget Sound located in downtown Olympia, WA. A place of learning and recreation for the whole family.
Estuaries are important places where tidal salt water and fresh water from streams, rivers and creeks come together. All of Puget Sound is a large estuary - the 2nd largest in the U.S. with 2000 miles of shoreline.
Our Puget Sound Estuary is unique and it is in trouble! At the center you will learn why our estuary is special, the pressures on it, and how each of us can be part of the solution to make it a healthier place for marine and estuary life to live.
Located
at the back-reaches of the Puget Sound, South Puget Sound has special
characteristics because of the this location. Human and natural
history have shaped the land and influenced the water.
The SSEA Marine Estuary Interpretive Center will provide a place where interactive hands-on, on-site, in the field, on-the-water, and in the classroom education opportunities will exist for people of all ages.
What would an interpretive center focused on estuary and marine education look like? We would love your feedback.
