Oregon Coast's Hatfield Science Center Turns 50, Celebrates in April

Published 04/01/2015

(Newport, Oregon) – An Oregon coast landmark turns 50.

OSU's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport puts its many layers of research on full display on April 11 with the annual Marine Science Day – which also celebrates the 50th anniversary of the facility. This open house of scientific fun features interactive exhibits and family-friendly activities presented by HMSC’s marine scientists and educators from Oregon State University and six government agency partners. Special 50th anniversary exhibits will highlight HMSC history and look to the future with OSU’s Marine Studies Initiative.

It may be 50 years old, but there's always something new to discover at the Oregon coast's most dynamic Marine Science campus. The event goes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the whole day, special exhibits will feature the history of the Mark O. Hatfield Marine Science Center.

The open house has interactive research exhibits that will feature larval fish ecology, bioacoustics of whales, volcanoes and deep ocean vents, and oceanographic tools. Activities for children and families will be hosted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Oregon Sea Grant.

Get behind-the-scenes for a peek at the cutting-edge research, education and outreach in marine sciences that makes this laboratory unique.

OSU and government agency partners will have interactive displays for you to explore, including touch pools with ODFW’s Shellfish Program, building Cartesian divers and secchi disks with Seagrant’s Marine Education Program, and building wind energy devices with STEM Hub and more. See your voice on a spectrogram with OSU’s Acoustics Group. Become a citizen scientist and learn how to monitor sea star wasting disease with one state agency.

Isolate DNA from strawberries with the Fisheries Genetics Group. Take a tour with Dr. Tim Miller-Morgan and learn about animal husbandry and the Aquarium Science Program from Oregon Coast Community College.

You might even see live whales. Take in a presentation by Oregon Coast Aquarium on seals and sea lions, learn about how the Hatfield takes care of fish.

Most Marine Science Day exhibits and activities will be indoors, although visitors are advised to dress for the weather as portions of tours, paths between buildings and some exhibits that will be outdoors.

Marine Science Day is free, with suggested donation. For more information, see hmsc.oregonstate.edu/marinescienceday.
