DURHAM, N.H. -- Get your hands wet while whetting
your sense of wonder. Come aboard the University of
New Hampshire research vessel the Gulf Challenger for
a fun and educational tour of the Great Bay Estuary or
the Isles of Shoals.
Explore the culture, history, science and beauty of
coastal New Hampshire in an informal educational
setting. The UNH Marine Docents make learning fun
aboard the Gulf Challenger as they guide you through
activities like catching plankton and capturing water
samples for analyzing temperature, salinity, and oxygen
content. Get a close look at the crabs, sea stars and
sponges that call this environment home. There's plenty
of time to enjoy the sights, chat with a friendly docent
or visit the captain in the pilothouse to learn about the
latest in electronic navigation.
