Port Townsend Marine Science Center (PTMSC) is devoted to understanding, preserving and teaching about marine and shoreline environment for a sustainable future. Located on the beach at Fort Worden State Park, the PTMSC offers two public exhibits: the Marine Exhibit (ME) on the pier and the Natural History Exhibit (NHE) on the shore. The ME features large tide pools where sea creatures can be viewed and touched, glass fish tanks and wall displays. It’s also home to the Foss Maritime Discovery Lab, a fully equipped lab where students and adults participate in research, addressing near-shore environmental issues. The NHE is the result of a partnership with the Burke Museum in Seattle and Washington State Parks. It houses natural history displays with artifacts and specimens on loan from the Burke Museum, fossils and full wall exhibits of cliff geology, glaciers, diving birds and sands from across the globe. The center offers interpretive programs and beach walks, and classes by special arrangement.
