See live animals of the Chesapeake Bay!

Chesapeake Critters focuses on animal life in our wonderful Chesapeake Bay.  Learn how the critters live and how we can protect North America’s largest estuary. Animals may include an oyster, hermit crab, blue crab, horseshoe crab, oyster toadfish, and whelk. Also, there may be live barnacles, amphipods, grass shrimp and skillet fish to view as well.
