DMC Mentioned in Current Publishing Article on Marine Science School for Girls
The Darling Marine Center was mentioned in a Current Publishing article on the Freeport-based Coastal Studies for Girls. The program is a semester-long, or 16-week, science and leadership school for 10th grade girls located on Wolfe’s Neck Farm in Freeport, where students become immersed in a marine science-based curriculum, according to the article. Recent student Heather Sieger said a memorable experience from the course was a weekend field trip to the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center in Walpole. At the center the students collected marine creatures from a boat, including sea cucumbers and spider crabs, to examine under a microscope, the article states. “It was so exciting to look at everything that’s on the ocean bottom in that area,” Sieger said. “This was definitely one of the moments where I thought to myself, this is what I want to study for the rest of my life.”
