The Reasons 5ehind The Feiro Marine Lite Center
At t1rst glance the Feiro Marine Lite Center looks like a lot ot tanks tull of water in an
aCjuarium setting. But there are three tanks that sa.:J "touch" on them so .:Jou walk over
to them and ~ngerl.:J stick in one t1nger to t1nd out what those prickl.:J things teellike -
"oh the.:J're reall.:J soft," or "wh.:J is that shell moving so tast?" or "Is there an.:Jthing in
there that will hurt me?" or "It hugged m.:J t1ngerwith it's long stitt spines," or "Mom, come
here and see this! I learned about it when m.:J class came here," or "Put .:Jour t1nger close
to that red Rutt.:J thing on that tube and watch it pop back in the tube." All ot us
volunteers love these comments and the interest and curiosit.:J the.:J reveal about the
above-described sunRower sea stars, hermit crabs, sea urchins, sea cucumbers and tube
worms to name just a tew ot the man.:J live specimens in the Center.
Ever.:J da.:J something is happening with the invertebrates (animals without a
backbone) and fish trom microscopic to the large octopus in the man.:J assorted t.:Jpes ot
tanks. For instance, last sunda.:J we were all Fascinated when the rainbow sea star
started spewing out white strands ot sperm. Then another star ot the same species
started lettinggo ot biggobs ot reddish eggs. 5urt Foot, an emplo.:Jee/volunteer,
Cjuickl.:J got samples ot each onto glass slides to examine under a microscope that can be
observed on a large monitor. Several people spent the rest ot the afternoon caught b.:J
o
the drama ot the hundreds (or thousands) ot minute sperm tr.:Jing to attach to an egg.
After that happened with several eggs, the perimeter ot the egg started thickening.
5etore we left, one ot the eggs was alread.:J starting to divide and start a new lite.
5urt is also an expert at photographing tin,y creatures through the microscope so the
resulting pictures can more easil,y be shown to all the guests.
Man,y groups of students come to learn about what the,y might see in tidepools (marine
bioloW) , and what is invisible to the naked e,ye in the ocean around us. No matter what
their age, ever,yone leaves with a new knowledge of our world; the feeling of how
awesome it is and how we can be more active in taking care of it. About 1200 grade and
middle school students were in the program this spring, and now in the fall of 2009
classes will also be starting up again instead of waiting for next spring.
50b Campbell, the director and man of all trades, leads these classes but also keeps the
marine lab running smoothl,y. His man,y jobs include maintaining the pump out on the
dock that brings in the sea water that is the right temperature and salinit,y to keep all the
plants and animals alive. The,y need the right amount of ox,ygen and other elements in
their world and 50b has been known to work 12 hours a da,y to provide that. often the
open pipes have to be reamed out because of the creatures that have decided to just
live in them, instead of heading on in to an aquarium tank -like the sponges and algae
and tunicates. If no one else is there to keep the Feiro Center going, 50b can alwa,ys be
counted on to be there to open the doors and welcome visitors of either marine animal
or human kinds. He is the teacher of all the rest of us whenever there is a question and
trul,y cares for this most m,ysterious of all our environment - the ocean.
