Marine Life Center to host online Salish Sea Scavenger Hunt

The Port of Bellingham Marine Life Center is organizing its first annual Salish Sea Scavenger Hunt on Tuesday, August, 18 and Wednesday, August 19.

The online event will help people explore intertidal marine life in lieu of regular low tide events that won’t occur this year due to Covid-19, according to a press release from the Port of Bellingham.

Scavenger hunt participants will use the free app GooseChase to take photos and send responses to earn points and prizes. Participants will scout for things, such as local creatures, and then upload a photo to GooseChase.

The hunt is limited to 20 teams but there is no limit on the number of participants per group. Registration ends Sunday, August 9.

If more than 20 groups register, people unable to join will be contacted by the end of registration. Teams will then receive an email with instructions.
