Elizabeth City, NC— The deep sea animals which live in the dark, cold sea is the focus of “Creatures of the Night”, Port Discover’s Second Saturday Science program on Saturday, September 8. The program will look at how these animals survive without light and how they adapt to the deep, dark ocean. The program will be presented by Mandi Young, science teacher at Albemarle School and recipient of the 2007 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Teacher-at-Sea program.
