Georgia Aquarium is partnering with Discovery Channel to provide exclusive online streaming content during Shark Week beginning Aug. 1, 2010. And that's not all! Guests are invited to celebrate Shark Week at the world's largest aquarium as we highlight this amazing species Aug. 2-6. Learn more about our events, read about Georgia Aquarium's involvement in Shark Week and check out some cool shark links below.
Camp H2O is a wonderful opportunity for kids to explore the aquatic realm at the world's largest aquarium. Summer Camp H2O is a week-long summer day camp and Winter and Spring Break Camp H2O can be booked on a daily basis or for the entire week. This program provides campers with a unique experience at the Georgia Aquarium that involves animal encounters, behind-the-scenes tours, opportunities to meet the husbandry team and much more.
As Shark Week’s official online “Shark Cam” partner, the Georgia Aquarium will provide streaming and video content for Discovery’s Shark Week website, discovery.com/sharkweek. A live online chat session will follow each night, where viewers can submit questions to be answered live by a Discovery Channel shark expert and Georgia Aquarium biologists and researchers. Chat sessions are scheduled for 11 p.m. EST on Aug. 1, 2 and 4 and at 10 p.m. EST on Aug. 3, following the Shark Week premieres.
The Shark Week website will also include a live streaming webcam from Georgia Aquarium’s Ocean Voyager gallery, built by The Home Depot, which is home to four whale sharks and seven additional species of sharks. Ocean Voyager is the world’s largest single aquarium exhibit, and Georgia Aquarium is the only aquarium outside of Asia to house whale sharks.
Additional Georgia Aquarium online features will include daily whale shark, sand tiger shark and great hammerhead shark feedings; interactive dive shows with underwater question and answer sessions; a look at a day in the life of a shark keeper; a walk-through of how Georgia Aquarium transported whale sharks around the world; an overview of the groundbreaking research and conservation efforts underway at Georgia Aquarium to assist shark species; a look at how viewers can come face-to-fin underwater with whale sharks, hammerheads, manta rays and more in the Aquarium’s Dive Immersion Program, Journey with Gentle Giants; and a focus on “Planet Shark: Predator or Prey,” a travelling shark exhibition making its worldwide debut at the Georgia Aquarium.
Georgia Aquarium’s Shark Cam and online features will be available on the Shark Week website, discovery.com/sharkweek, from Aug. 1 – 4, 2010. You can also watch "Sharks at Georgia Aquarium" on Discovery's Shark Week playlist.
