Morgan Trail volunteers both behind the scenes and with the public at the PTMSC Marine Exhibit. She helps facilitate our “Feed the Animals” program that takes place Saturdays at 2 p.m. (spring - fall).
This weekly event allows visitors a rare opportunity to participate in the husbandry of our tidepool animals. Morgan prepares food, demonstrates proper feeding techniques, and invites visitors to interact with the animals. She makes sure no visitor or animal goes unnoticed.

When asked what inspires her to conserve the Salish Sea, Morgan answered: “It’s my home and I love all the animals and plants here.”
Having grown up in Port Townsend as well, I can definitely relate. This place offers such a wealth of beauty and so many opportunities to connect with the natural environment.
Morgan is currently attending 8th grade and is interested in studying marine biology. She is already planning ways to get involved in marine science in the coming years, including classes she will take in high school.

One of Morgan’s favorite marine animals is the opalescent nudibranch.
(LOOK AT HOW COOL THEY ARE!!)

I am so excited to see volunteers of all ages and backgrounds come together here at PTMSC to inspire conservation of the Salish Sea.
Thank you Morgan, and all of our volunteers, for the amazing people you are and all of the work you do!
