The Discovery Passage Aquarium is gearing up to open again for the year.
On May 20, the Aquarium opens its doors at 10 a.m., ushering in a new season of discovery.
“This year, the aquarium team has once again invested considerably into aquarium infrastructure to improve upon both the welfare of our aquarium residents and the visitor experience,” a release from the aquarium says. “Visitors can anticipate seeing new exhibits, never before-seen sea creatures, and many familiar faces around the aquarium.”
Also expanded is the nearby Explorer Lab. The Explorer Lab is the ocean-focused learning space which features a full-size classroom and wet-lab. Classes, summer camps and after school programs all make use of the space.
Those interested in assisting as the aquarium gears up for the year, or in helping with one of many citizen science projects and stewardship initiatives can email volunteers@discoverypassageaquarium.ca.
