Bubble Trouble: Understanding Ocean Acidification In-Person
Kids ages 5 and up are invited to join Tess from the University of Maine 4-H for a workshop about the ocean on Wednesday, August 20th from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Something is bubbling right under our noses: it is the rise of carbon dioxide in our oceans! This interactive workshop will explore how ocean acidification occurs and how it is affecting our marine shelled animal friends.
