The teenagers established marine science lab #2 aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Ingham. They donated and installed two fish tanks that are stocked from their artificial reefs. They have a microscope that will aid in marine research. The scouts work with Keith Grybowski, the director of the oceanographic program at Patriots Point. Marine Science Program
