Coastal Kids Science Series: Trophic Art

Did you know that the tiniest piece of algae can completely change the life of a full-grown shark? The critters at the bottom of our food chain are vital to the health of all animals in an ecosystem. In this workshop, youth will get the chance to design their own trophic level art, combining science with creativity! You can join Leah from 3:30 - 4:30 pm on Wednesday June 17, 2026, at the Blue Hill Library, for this crafty hour of fun!

UMaine Cooperative Extension is your doorway to University of Maine expertise.

They are part of the nationwide Cooperative Extension System, which works through the land-grant universities in each U.S. state.

Coastal Kids Science Series with 4-H is a monthly program where youth can dive deep into the natural wonder of water. From learning about amazing marine animal adaptations, to exploring the roles of Maine's working waterfront - we've got something for everyone!
