Biting Back for Conservation

Sharks are known to be at the top of their food chain, but did you know that sharks play a key role in maintaining the balance in ocean ecosystems? Sharks have been misunderstood by humans for decades and in this month’s session we will take a closer look at threats sharks face worldwide and leave you with a better appreciation for shark conservation.

Tuesdays in the Field is a specialized program created for K-12 home school students. The Education team is excited to offer an experience that allows students the opportunity to engage in standard based instruction at their own pace. Our Tuesdays in the Field homeschool experience is offered the second Tuesday of the month, from September through February, between the hours of 9:00am-1:00pm. Participants may enter through the education entrance between 9:00am-12:00pm. Registration for the Tuesdays in the Field program includes Georgia Aquarium admission. At the end of the program, feel free to enjoy the Aquarium’s galleries and presentations once open to the public.
