Friday Harbor Labs annual OPEN HOUSE

There will be posters, marine plants and animals, microscopes, plankton sampling and observations, and activities such as the popular algae pressing for visitors of all ages. The public is invited to learn more about marine zoology, botany, fisheries, oceanography and the equipment used by scientists in these fields. People can step aboard and tour our 58’ research vessel, the R/V Centennial, and check out its remotely operated vehicle (ROV), oceanographic tools, and sonar systems. There will also be underwater SCUBA demonstrations from the FHL dock, and scientific lectures will be presented in the FHL Lecture Hall. Sturdy shoes are recommended because the tour route includes rough dock planks, gravel paths and trails. In keeping with FHL Open House tradition, there will be free popcorn. Hot dogs and other snacks will be available for purchase on the Dining Hall deck.
