Dry Tortugas National Park, located 60 miles west of Key
West, FL, receives hundreds of visitors each day. In Ft.
Jefferson, the main attraction at Tortugas NPS, Interpreter
Officer Kelly Bulyis has set up a hands-on display, using limited
resources, for children and young adults. The central display
is a sandbox with shells and corals. During a visit last November,
Chris Reich saw an outreach and public service need. Chris designed
and printed a poster called, "What is Sand Anyway?" It tells the
story of the origin of carbonate sand with photomicrographs and
close-up photos. The poster was presented to Kelly in July for
addition to her display. She is delighted. This informative USGS
poster will now be seen by more than 100 people daily.
