Free Educational Series Continues at Clearwater Marine Aquarium

CLEARWATER - Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) will continue its free speaker series Thursday, April 15, with "All About Otters." The presentation will explore how North-American River otters live in the wild. It will also showcase how CMA helps rescue, rehabilitate, and hopefully eventually release them back into the wild. There will be a special focus on orphaned pups-and guests might even get a special visit from Sunny, one of the two orphans CMA recently rescued. Guests will also learn what they can do to help otters. "All About Otters" will include the following:

  • 6:00 p.m. - Snacks/Welcome
  • 6:30 p.m. - 7:30p.m. - Presentations by CMA's Director of Education Joe Malo and CMA Marine Mammal Trainer Ashley Holmes
  • 7:30 p.m. - 8p.m. - Question and Answer Session

As part of this free program, CMA will host "Marine Mammal Research" on May 20th. Visit www.SeeWinter.com to see speaker series lectures planned for the entire year.
