Some crab and mollusk shells and dried specimens of seaweed and coral are on display – representative of the Douglas Channel environment. The Museum also has collected taxidermy specimens of birds of the region, nests, migratory birds, and raptors. Woodland and estuary mammals of the region are also on display.
