This past September the new Fundy Discovery Aquarium opened on the Huntsman campus. Students attending fall field courses visited the new aquarium and checked out all the exciting features including:
· two touch pools full of sea stars, crabs, scallops and skates,
· our harbour seals Snorkel and Loki,
· the Bay of Fundy fishes tank, including sturgeon, spiny dogfish, cod, salmon, and flounder,
· blue, orange and jumbo lobsters,
· the 220-seat theatre,
· the new lab, and
· the new schedule: open year round!
Want your name in the aquarium? Those 18 years and younger can have their name added to our “Children’s Donor Wall” that is in the shape of a harbour seal. For more information check out this link, www.huntsmanmarine.ca/html/kids_wall.html.
