NC Estuarium Exhibit
The Biological Invasions interactive exhibit, which is permanently installed at the North Carolina Estuarium in Washington, NC, is a NC Sea Grant-awarded collaboration between Dr. April Blakeslee (ECU Biology) and Kayla. Blakeslee’s research revolves around a variety of biological invasions, specifically crabs that become infected by a parasite and become ‘zombie crabs’.
Kayla had full reign with the concepting of the exhibit which is aquatic themed, from the semi-transparent backlit waves at the top of the exhibit to the tanks of live crabs (healthy and zombie!) to the recycled deck wood on the bottom of the structure.
