| Jun 1 - Aug 18 Sea Monsters Summer Exhibit |
The Sea Monsters traveling exhibits from Mote Marine Laboratory, a marine science institution based in Sarasota, FL. This exhibit will engage visitors by revealing these mysterious and intriguing attributes of sea life. The free exhibit explains how the unusual animal characteristics are adaptations to extreme underwater environments.
Some features of the 12-foot exhibit include a Monster Makeover panel where visitors can see themselves with different monster attributes, Flod-down Sea Puzzle, mako shark jaws, a tooth-to-diet atching activity, touchable shark skin, inflated giant squid, and other interactive elements.
Tarpon Bay Explorers, the refuge’s official recreation concessionaire, will offer discounts on
their boat and touch tank excursions during the duration of the exhibit. Refuge staff is also planning additional free summer programs that will tie in with this exhibit, including crafts and storytelling. |

| Aug 16 Island Rhythms- Jim Morris & The Big Bamboo Band |
Jim Morris is an articulate singer/songwriter with a devotion to storytelling. He is Florida’s own traveling tropical troubadour whose unique blend of styles – island, rock, jazz, folk and country – makes him difficult to neatly classify. A pioneer and prominent figure in the “trop rock” movement, he is a prolific songwriter with 25 CDs to his credit and a touring schedule that regularly takes him to festivals, theaters, and salty bars all across the United States, as well as to the Caribbean, Canada, Central America, and the South Pacific. His songs have become a mainstay on Internet Radio, including many in regular rotation on Sirius/XM’s Radio Margaritaville. Whether it is a thoughtful ballad about doomed love or an anthem to a night of drunken revelry, the listener can always count on well-crafted songs with carefully drawn characters, clever lyrics, and satirical charm.
