​Chincoteague Bay Field Station is proud to be celebrating its 50th Anniversary!

This year we are taking extra time to reflect on the rich history and shining accomplishments that have been made during that time.

We invite you to be a part of our celebration.
Share your memories, reconnect with old friends, and be a part of our story. 

50 years and more of science and learning on the Shore!

Our History

From New Jersey, to Delaware, to the Eastern Shore of Virginia; learn about the changing tides that have made us who we are today. 

Be a Part of the Legacy

We couldn't have made it this far without the generous support from our friends and partners along the way. As you reflect on the memories you have made in your time with us, we ask that you consider making a donation in recognition of this exciting milestone. 

Join Us

We will be opening our doors the weekend of October 19-21 for friends and alumni to join us for a weekend of revisiting your favorite field sites, connecting with classmates, and enjoying everything the field station is and is to be.
