(1252 McKay Ave., Alameda, CA 94501-7805) Crab Cove Visitor Center at Crown Memorial State Beach in Alameda features all new exhibits opened in April 2004. You can see bay creatures in the 800-gallon aquarium system, use interactive stations for varying age groups to view microscopic animals, build a crab from the inside out, or get a lug worm's view of the mudflats. You'll see amazing depictions of the underwater world of San Francisco Bay. At the Visitor Center you can also plunge into San Francisco Bay without getting wet, or travel back in time to Alameda's colorful past. These entertaining educational opportunities all have a serious purpose--to increase public understanding of the environmental importance of San Francisco Bay. There is strong emphasis on the interdependence of marine life and shore life and on the urgency of preserving the marine and estuarine environment. feedback@famplosion.com (Laura McConnell) Fri, 20 Jun 2008 00:17:13 -0700 http://www.famplosion.com/venues/6212-Crab-Cove?utm_campaign=rss_venues&utm_content=Crab+Cove&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=venues http://www.famplosion.com/venues/6212-Crab-Cove en-us
