The 2010 Tropical fish Hunt is THIS SUNDAY, August 29th.
Sunday, August 29, 2010
9:30am to 4:30PM
Fort Wetherill, Jamestown, RI
This is a great family event, especially for the kids!
There will be seining from shore, volleyball, music, lots of raffles, and of course diving and a great variety of food.
Never caught tropical fish before? Let our experts show you how. Extra collecting nets will be available.
All are welcome. Join us for a fun filled day!
There will be a large touch tank set up, for all to enjoy, with lobsters, crabs, starfish, baby tropical fish, etc.
As we gather out catch, let our experts show you where to see fish, and teach you about the tropical fish you can observe in our on-site holding aquariums.

ALL PROCEEDS WILL BENEFIT THE COTTING SCHOOL
If you...
* want to see some fish you don't normally find around here
* want to dive without a 7mm wetsuit in New England
* need fish for your own fish tank,
* want to help the Aquarium,
* or just want to save the lives of some fish (they'd die when the water turns cold in the Fall)
