"Ghost pots," abandoned crab pots lost in storms or with lines cut by boaters, have a big impact on the Chesapeake Bay. Come learn about this issue, and what people are doing to help. Join Dr. Kirk Havens from the Center for Coastal Resources Management at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science as he explains efforts to use sonar to find the pots, and describes some of their surprising catches. Live animal displays, hands-on sonar activity, kids' activities and more!
