Have you ever wanted to visit creatures who live under the sea? Well, here's
your chance! The Sea Mobile is coming to Tallahassee on Saturday, October 4.
Where can you find such an entertaining and fascinating adventure? Just come
to the Lighthouse of the Big Bend, located at 3071 Highland Oaks Terrace in
beautiful Tallahassee Florida. The Sea Mobile will be present in the parking
lot from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

 

The Sea Mobile is a free event supported by a grant from Duke Energy and the
Tallahassee Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind (NFB). For more
information, contact Johnnie Slaton, president Tallahassee NFB. Ms. Slaton
can be reached via email at slatonj52@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.  

 

The touch tanks and large screen monitor showcase sea specimens.  Sea Mobile
is a golden opportunity for people who are blind/visually Impaired to "see"
and encounter the wonders of the sea.

 

This travelling mobile has a 13.5 foot clearance with a model of the
hammerhead shark on top. 
This is an excellent chance to learn about creatures who live in a different
environment from our own, so don't forget to bring the kids!
