Ordiorne point is a perfect place as to perform research projects. On the northern portion of the point there was a place to lauch ships. I heard from scuba divers that the water is very clear. It is a good central location in which to partnership with the Isle of Shoals for research projects in the ocean. There are other scientific projects to perform. There is a science center as heaquarters for these projects.
One of these projects is to eliminate intrusive plants that have overtake original vegetation. These plants are like oriental bittersweet and buckthorn. These plants were planted to hide the guns put there to defend the harbor. There are signs throughout the park signifying this.
There are also research projects for the ocean. As you go from the parking lot to the Seacoast Science Center on the left is a strange looking ocean vehicle. It is a ocean habitat that allows divers to stay under water for more than one day. It is fenced off to protect it.
There is a building that includes much of research projects the researchers were and are involved in. It is small but packed with learning stimulatous. There is much to learn. There is a tank to put your hands in to touch some of the sea life. There is also a skelton of of a small whale on the ceiling. One can spend hours there. I saw in the internet where they are taking care of an injured seal.
They work in partnership with Isle of Shoals and UNH. This is a quick summary of what they do for research. Here is more information. Odiorne Point State Park – Seacoast Science Center, NH State Parks : Welcome, Odiorne Point State Park – Wikipedia
