Here until Sept. 30, 2012

The Pier Aquarium recently installed a new interactive learning kiosk, Too Rich for Gulf  Waters, on loan this summer through Sept. 30, 2012 from the Mobile Bay National Estuary Program in Alabama. Visitors can select from a group of media lessons: The Water Cycle, Streets to Streams, Watershed Address, The Journey of a Raindrop and also watch Stewardship videos. A quiz, game or learning activity after each lesson tests the participant's knowledge.

Too Rich for Gulf Waters is a welcome addition to the aquarium's outdoor exhibit, The Wonder of Water, which illustrates the water cycle on the walls of the Roy G. Harrell, Jr. Education Station on The Pier approach.

The education kiosk and videos are funded by a grant from the Gulf of Mexico Program.
