Rhode Island families have been invited to join URI Marine Outreach Scientists today for a two-hour beach investigation experience. The group will explore Fort Getty, one of Rhode Island's unique coastal beaches.
This program gives young people a special chance to have their questions answered about the plants, animals, and minerals found on the beach.
