Descriptions:
The Wetlands Institute hosts a live animal program onboard the Cape May - Lewes Ferry. An Institute Naturalist brings a sampling of marine critters such as diamondback terrapins, northern sea stars and horseshoe crabs onboard for passengers to learn about and will talk about local birds, fish and marine life that are regularly encountered in the area. This popular family activity includes an overview of places to go in Cape May for wildlife adventures and discussions about the wildlife sightings aboard the ferry.
