BATH — The Bath Middle School Ocean Sustainability Exhibition is being held Dec. 14 in the Bath Middle School cafeteria from at 7:30 p.m. This event is being hosted by all 7th grade students at Bath Middle School. Dana Morse, an Extension Associate at Maine Sea Grant and University of Maine Cooperative Extension will be highlighting this event by speaking as a special keynote speaker.

The Ocean Exhibition shares the 7th grade marine ecosystem unit with the public, and is a way to learn more about the projects 7th grade has been learning and to see what material they’ve been working on since October.

Students have recently been exploring questions pertaining to ocean sustainability practices, Maine’s marine ecosystems and the impact of the invasive green crab, among other facets.

Students are collecting crab data from multiple locations on the coastal regions. Graphing and organizing this data will be presented to show math skills being applied to real-world problems. Students have also been crafting multiple pieces of writing including, but not limited to poetry and informational texts.

On display will also be credits to each and every partnership who made these projects possible, including the Kennebec Estuary Land Trust, the Center for Innovation at UMO, expressive artist Elizabeth Walker, the Ecology School and the Maine Maritime Museum.
