CAPE MAY POINT – The Cape May Point Science Center (CMPSC) along with Cellular Tracking Technologies (CTT) launched Project Monarch on September 21st in the courtyard pollinator garden of the science center.

A drop of eyelash glue is all it takes to attach the world’s smallest solar-powered tracking device to the thorax of a monarch butterfly. However, it will take a team of community scientists to help track the monarchs on their epic migration to Mexico.
