  1. Dauphin Island By Brett Tomlinson

  2. What is Dauphin island ? • Dauphin Island was a French island. It’s original name was massacre island. But it was changed in 1699. The island is apart of the state Alabama. A famous fort is on the island it was in the civil war. It is called Fort Morgan. Today it is a great tourist destination and for school students. There is a program called Dauphin island sea lab. Kids can go in the summer to go to a camp. The camp is 5th grade through 12th grade.

  3. The marsh • A marsh is a nursery ground for little creatures. A nursery ground is where little creatures such as tiny crab or snail or shrimp. Sometimes the water is in the marsh and sometimes it is not. That is because of high tide and low tide. On low tide it is just a big area of mud on high tide it is a large pond. Some animals you would find is the fiddler crab, sea salt snake [rare], baby flounder, baby shrimp, and bacteria.

  4. The Touch Lab • The touch lab is where you get to touch dead animals like sharks and other cool animals. You get to learn what they eat. It is really fun to touch the animals. I learned about how all those fish lived. I think you should go to the touch lab.

  5. Dissecting the squid • At dauphin island they have a program that lets you dissect a squid. You have a partner then you have a guide. You get to learn about what is inside the squid. It is really cool. You get to see what is in its eye and you get to kind of play with the insides. I strongly recommend it to people who likes science. Go try it for yourself.

  6. The estuarium The estuarium is like a mini aquarium. It is filled with fish from Mobile bay and the gulf of Mexico. If you come with a school you can have a packet Filled with questions and your students can have fun and a challenge. It is also by a marsh so you can go outside and look at the wild life. The estuarium has cool verities of fish. It is good for the whole family to go. I learned about the marsh, mobile bay, the gulf of Mexico and lots of other things.
