Our goal is to inspire wonder, generate awareness and foster respect and appreciation for the world’s rivers, oceans and their inhabitants through exciting educational programs.
By creating unique educational opportunities and resources for the community, we expose students to marine life that they may not otherwise encounter. |

On the first Tuesday of every month during the school year, we schedule area students to spend an evening job-shadowing one of our marine biologists. All students must pre-register to participate in this unique educational experience. Typically, we look to include high school age students, but welcome younger mature students as well. The program runs from 6:00pm to 8:00pm. To register, call 859.815.1451. |
