Event Date
Create your own aquatic-themed prints with Herbarium staff! It’s part of the Manetti Shrem Art Spark event at the Manetti Shrem Museum of Art.
Herbarium staff will demonstrate how to preserve seaweed specimens just like the researchers at the Bodega Bay Marine Lab.
In addition to preserving algae, the Center for Plant Diversity Herbarium maintains a variety of pressed flowering plants, mosses, lichens, and more. By maintaining and digitizing these specimens, the Herbarium helps to make the crucial data these plants hold accessible to students and researchers alike. You can access our online collection of algae on the Algae Herbarium Portal.
Folks from the Museum of Wildlife and Fish Biology also will display their collection of fish specimens. In the activity room, you can create your own art using seaweed and fish-themed stamps!
