The Port Townsend Marine Science Center
is an educational and scientific organization devoted to understanding
and conserving our marine and shoreline environment. Through its
various programs the PTMSC teaches respect for and stewardship of the
myriad life forms in that environment, creates active and involving
educational experiences for groups, offers professional development and
curriculum design for teachers, and provides exhibits, programs, and
publications featuring local marine and shoreline habitat, history,
flora, and fauna.
