You’re invited to get up close with some of the more familiar creatures found in our ocean.
Our touch tank pool allows you to gently touch marine animals such as sea stars, sea urchins, whelks, horseshoe crabs, and hermit crabs. These animals live in a variety of habitats and have developed many ways to survive the waves and predators. Volunteers are on hand to assist and teach you about these incredible animals.
Did you know, when a sea urchin “hugs” your finger if you gently touch its spines, it’s actually checking you out: Are you food or predator? If you’re neither, the animal will just gradually release you.
Alaska is a place like no other. For many people, a trip to Alaska is a life-long dream. For the people who live there, they depend on and protect an enduring way of life. But there are places in Alaska that are so remote and so wild, few Alaskans have ever gone there. This program will take you to these places — to the remote wilderness to see iconic animals and to landscapes that define the Last Frontier — places that make Alaska…Alaska.

Learn about how Lionfish came to be in our coastal waters and what is being done to manage the population. With no predators in the Atlantic, the population of Lionfish has quickly grown. Originally from the Indo-Pacific Ocean, Lionfish have quickly become an invasive species locally. A specimen is currently featured in our Shipwreck Aquarium. The Lionfish presentation is part of the Museum of Coastal Carolina’s Sea Tales program, where you can learn about local sea creatures featured in our exhibits.
Our Education Coordinator, Jamie Justice will present this fun, interactive program. Jamie received her Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology from Bowling Green State University and her Master of Science in Environmental Science with concentrations in Marine and Coastal Education and Coastal Management from the University of North Carolina, Wilmington.
