Today was a fantastic day! Two other teachers at my school and I just happen to have previously worked together at the @tnaquarium.bsky.social and today we were invited to bring a group of students to participate in a sturgeon release. The kids had a blast!
The Tennessee River isn’t the only waterway involved in these conservation efforts. Shout out to our friends in Wisconsin! 🧪

Zoos and aquariums that maintain the highest standards — especially in animal care — are accredited by The Association of Zoos and Aquariums. In our latest podcast, AZA head Dan Ashe talks about high standards, fighting animal trafficking and why he loves Monarch Butterflies.
