On April 29th, the St. Petersburg Center for Coastal Geology participated in Marine Quest, the Florida
Marine Research Institute's annual open house. The event was open to the general public and was well
attended all day. Visitors were able to attend talks about various marine topics, invited to check out the
Institute's facilities, and could talk with experts in many fields.
Many local scientific organizations were invited to participate. The volunteers staffing the USGS
booth were Tracy Enright, Kathy Pegram, Amanda Frick, Marci Marot, Mike Stallings, Jason Greenwood,
Mike Gray, Heather Mounts, and Amy Streck.

Both children and adults loved a chance to look into a microscope to get a closer look at sands
from beaches around the world. The USGS display also gave the public a glimpse of Kim Yates'
SHARQ (Submerged Habitat for Assessing Reef Quality) model and Ann Tihansky's (WRD-Tampa)
underground aquifer demonstration model.
