Welcome to Marine Science & Fishing!
Here at DBMS, we are trying to help kids and adults learn more about Duxbury Bay and beyond. If you like learning about sea creatures, birds and other ocean life then these classes are for you!
Marine Science Programs By Season
Here at DBMS, we provide year-round programming through our Marine Science department for kids ages 2-high school. Our largest programming season is in the summer time (June-August) where we leverage our Marine Science Lab, boat rides, kayaks and vans to explore our extraordinary marine environment.
