Interpretive Center
The
designs for the reserve's new research and education facilities are currently
being finalized. The new facility
will include an interpretive and education center, house staff members from
both the reserve and the Grand Bay National Wildlife Refuge, provide laboratory
space for researchers and serve as an example of sustainable
construction design.
The theme of the interpretive
center is "Living on the Edge-the Nature of Change". The new exhibits will allow the visitor
to experience how different kinds of environmental and cultural changes such as
fire, tides or storms can impact coastal biodiversity and habitats (Future link
to take a virtual tour). The new center is anticipated to open in early 2009.
