"Beginnings are apt to be shadowy, and so it is with the beginning of that great mother of life the sea…the story is founded on testimony of the earth's most ancient rocks…on other evidence written on the face of the earth's satellite, the moon and on hints contained in the history of the sun and the whole universe of star filled space…indeed had much to do with the fact that there is an ocean."
— Rachel L. Carson, The Sea Around Us
Created in collaboration with Ralph Lewis, Connecticut State Geologist and Nicholas F. Bellantoni, Connecticut State Archeologist. Performed on the campus of UConn Avery Point, Groton, CT.
