Explore, Discover, and Crab in the Marsh! Discover the marsh like never before with your family in this immersive Funky Fins Shoreline Science & Crabbing Expedition! Step into tidal creeks and along the shoreline to hunt for crabs, snails, marsh plants, and other hidden creatures while uncovering how the living and nonliving elements of the marsh shape this vibrant ecosystem.
