Hello all,
BAR has helped us out tremendously in our recent opening process, from backbreaking labor to donations of some choice corals. We can't thank you enough for your generosity! Things have started to slow down for us here at the Academy and we're finally able to "catch our breath" and spend a bit more time doing the things we love, tending to our tanks!
We are always on the lookout for motivated volunteers with reefkeeping experience. Whether you are a hardcore SPS keeper or on your first year with a nano, we can use your help and time. There's a bit of hard work involved, but also some cool fringe benefits and learning experiences as well--watching baby cuttlefish grow up, feeding leafy sea dragons and giant octopuses, learning where to collect live mysis, and seeing how to clean a skimmer as big as my living room.
If you've got at least 3 hours a week to dedicate to dropping by and working for free, we'd love to hear from you. If you're interested in volunteering for the aquarium or have any other questions I can be reached at mwandell@calacademy.org or (415) 379 5444.
Cheers,
Matt Wandell
