The Maine Center for Coastal Fisheries runs this hands-on marine education spot right on Stonington harbor — touch tanks, lobsters (including the occasional blue or calico one), and staff who know the local fishery inside and out. Free, family-friendly, and a genuinely good way to understand what actually happens here on the water. Open Memorial Day through Indigenous Peoples Day.
