Page 16 The Shoreline December 2004 Aquarium Posts Winter Schedule in •muumm' « » » ■ 1» - 10SP ‘Mir,:- ' ■.':■/■. Progress on the new Aquarium is moving along on schedule. There’s lots of concreter, rebar and conduit on the construction site, with the focus being on building the forms that shape and support the new 306,000- gallon “Living Shipwreck” tank, the 50,000- gallon “Queen Anne’s Revenge” tank, and the 32-foot waterfall. Because so much new infrastructure is re quired, it will be a while before the actual walls of the building begin to go up. In the meantime, the aquarium is operating from its offsite location in Atlantic Station Shopping Center and offering winter programs and ac tivities. “Sea Squirts,” one-hour classes designed to introduce four and five-year-olds to marine life, is set for Dec. 7 and 14. “Guest Chef’s Succulent Seafood,” spotlighting area chefs demonstrating the use of local species to create tantalizing seafood dishes, is scheduled Dec. 9. “Christmas Craft Week,” fea turing how-tos for nautical wreaths, sea shell ornaments, fish printing, seaweed mar bling and nautical giftwrap, is planned for the week of Dec. 13. These activities require advance registration and a fee. To register or for more infor mation, call the aquarium at 247-4003. The nuts and bolts - or more aptly the silicone and fiber glass - of the work at the aquarium’s offsite location in volves the entire staff. With the help of the education and maintenance staffs, husbandry has completed assembly of two 8,000-gallon holding tanks for schooling fish, and is working on a 30,000-gallon holding tank for large specimens such as sharks and rays. They’re also collecting specimens for new exhibits. Numerous 300-500 gallon holding tanks now house bass, shiners, darters, yellow perch and other freshwater specimens. Black sea bass, pompano, sheepshead, jacks and other salt- waterfish are in separate holding tanks, as are freshwater turtles, sea turtles and alligators. The aquarium’s snake collection has its own enclosed, humidity-controlled room. Other aquarium staff members are working to re search, design and review information for the many new exhibits and develop new pro gram, activity and event ideas for the newly expanded facility. The aquarium’s winter/spring calendar of limited activities and events will be coming out soon.
