Fiddler crabs tune in the orchestra pit, while large and lanky Japanese spider crabs warm up and stretch their slender gams. Lobster larvae swim peacefully in the nursery, cared for by our own dedicated researchers. The scene here is positively electric. During the five-hour excursion aboard our heated Discovery II, naturalists recount the rich natural and cultural history of the harbor. We will look for a variety of winter seabirds, as well as harbor seals, harbor porpoise, and other marine animals.
