 Chesapeake's
Best Crab Cakes: A Study in Geography, Social
Studies, and Economics is a school and museum-based program for third-grade students and teachers. The "Crab Cakes" program focuses on the relationship between the natural environment and the way people live and work on the Bay. Featuring the Chesapeake Bay blue crab and its journey from the water to our dinner plates, the program teaches about the watermen who catch the crabs, the seafood pickers and packinghouse operators who process the crabs, and the cooks who prepare crab dishes in local restaurants. The goal is for students to develop new skills, insights, and a more complete understanding of the issues facing the people who work in the Chesapeake's seafood industries. The program was developed jointly by the Museum and Talbot County Public Schools and is taught in all Talbot County third-grade classes.
