Join us this month in Dive Deeper as we highlight a local scientist who is furthering our understanding of the coral reef ecosystem and its role in Earth’s overall health. Come learn about research being done in our own backyard about a place far far away.
Dive Deeper is a monthly science program suitable for people of all ages. This program is an opportunity to talk with our animal exhibits staff directly to learn about WonderLab’s animal ambassadors and what it takes to care for animals from around the world. See a fully functioning ecosystem in action while you explore WonderLab’s 300 gallon coral reef aquarium with our care staff to guide you along the way.
The whole ocean is connected, from the sunny shallows to the deepest trenches. Through interactive demonstrations learn with us about how what we do here on land can affect the ocean and cooperatively problem solve to come up with solutions to the environmental issues the ocean faces every day.
Activities may include:
- Observing staff feeding the fish, corals or sea stars
- A guided Tour of Wonder Under the Waves
- Watch or participate in demonstrations and experiments
- Get hands on by holding coral or sea star skeletons, sponges, or even algae
Program details are subject to change as the needs of the animal ambassadors warrant.
