A History of Marine Mammals at the Aquarium TONIGHT! RSVP REQUIRED

Millions of visitors have enjoyed marine mammal programs at the Aquarium over the past 40 years and word on the street is that marine mammals have been around for THOUSANDS of years. Training philosophy, public awareness and presentation style have changed significantly since 1969. From the original harbor seal exhibit, which was open 24/7, to the ship Discovery, to the recently opened New Balance Foundation Marine Mammal Center, explore the unique history of marine mammal training and presentation, and learn about some of the Aquarium's celebrated animals.

Jenny Montague’s marine mammal training career has spanned almost 30 years. It began in 1981 in California, where she worked with a variety of animals, including harbor seals, orcas, Asian river otters, dolphins, California sea lions and a number of stranded cetaceans. She has been at the Aquarium since 1988 and is currently the Assistant Curator of Marine Mammals.

It starts tonight at the Aquarium (map) at 7PM!
