On August 18, 2009 the Aquarium on Wheels Claw and Order entertainers performed a skit concerning a Sea Star’s home that is destroyed by waste and pollution that was discarded or dumped in the Chesapeake Bay. The Sea Star receives help from a Coral Reef Estate Agent. They travel the sea to find a new home for the sea star. The essence of the skit was to remind everyone to lend a hand in not polluting the Chesapeake Bay. There was also a demonstration with sea animals. This marvelous skit, which was the last of our Summer Programs for 2009, was an enjoyable experience.
