Recent Activity


At the Smithsonian Marine Station in Fort Pierce, FL, a community open house was recently held which in part featured over a dozen colorized scanning electron micrographs originally taken by Dr. Paul Hargraves of the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute.  The open house was attended by nearly 600 persons, and the dialog and photos stimulated much interest about the microscopic life in Florida coastal waters.
