It's almost time...

We're almost ready to open the touch tank for the 2009 season! Soon the tank and all its inhabitants will be moved to the dock at 315 Market Street, and on Saturday, May 23, we'll be open for the first time. Until then, we have lots to do: collect new sand, rocks and creatures to add to the tank, gather materials for games and activities, and create fun educational materials for you to use on your visit. So come and see us on weekends until June 20, when we'll be open every day.
Would you like to volunteer at the tank? Or are you interested in an internship? We're looking for both this summer! Contact us for more information and become an active member of our mission of education, research and conservation. We'd love to have you!
If you came to the tank last year and have suggestions for how to make it better this season, by all means, let us know! This is a great place to give us your feedback - simply comment on this blog post and help us make the tank better.
Thank you, and we can't wait to see you!
Katherine
