Sandi Schaefer-Padgett feeds sand tiger sharks

Endangered Species Day at The Maritime Aquarium

For Endangered Species Day, The Maritime Aquarium education staff will be on-site to identify endangered and vulnerable species that live at the Aquarium. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in a scavenger hunt to find these species including the green sea turtle, spotted turtle, sand tiger shark, and horseshoe crab. Other activities will demonstrate the challenges that endangered species face in the wild, and ways the public can get involved in conservation efforts. Activities are included with the purchase of admission on Friday, May 19. — an announcement from The Maritime Aquarium
