The Rocky Intertidal Zone Touch Tank July 19, 2007

One of the Maritime Aquarium's most popular exhibits -- 'The Rocky Intertidal Zone Touch Tank' -- gives visitors a real feel for some of Long Island Sound's most interesting creatures. Come feel a green crab tickle your palm, rub a horseshoe crab's belly and touch the rough surface of a sea star. The aquarium volunteers make sure everyone has some quality time with the animals; and who knows, you might even learn a few interesting facts about them in the process.
