There is a charcoal grill outside the kitchen. You will be expected to bring all your food. The living quarters are inside a building that is on the National Register of Historic Places. The building must be treated with care, and all messes must be cleaned up by users. Trash will need to be removed at the end of stay, and we will provide garbage bags for this purpose.
Microscopes are available in the laboratory.
We have shovels, buckets, screens, trawls, seines, etc. Users will need to bring any reference materials such as field guides, identification manuals, etc., but we do maintain a small collection of preserved specimens featuring much of the local biota. Observing the local biota is a common educational activity. Because of local conditions, snorkeling generally is not a productive way to view specimens. A better way to locate specimens is simply to wade in shallow areas during low tide.
