The team at the National Marine Aquarium has been busy making plans to celebrate World Oceans Day today (June 8).

With the aquarium closed due to coronavirus restrictions, all the plans have been based around free online educational activities for all the friends and family to enjoy. World Ocean Youth Ambassador, Summer Snell, will also be on hand to answer questions.

Timetable for the day:
9:15am – The team will be live from the aquarium facility starting the day off with a spot of rock-pooling. Watch via the Ocean Conservation Trust's Facebook Page.

10:30am - Inky Intrigue (squid dissection) – During this session the team will be exploring the body shape and internal structures of these amazing animals. This is a superb opportunity to watch a live dissection, learn all about interesting molluscs, and complete scientific drawings. Watch via YouTube link on WODFS website.

11am - Shark and Turtle Feed - Join the Ocean Discovery Rangers at the top of the UK's largest exhibit as they feed these amazing animals, from Sand Tiger sharks to the aquarium's Green Turtle. Watch via the National Marine Aquarium Facebook Page.

1pm - Time to get creative! – This is the 'Habitats Create Challenge'. The team asks that everyone involved wears a fabulous ocean inspired hat! Viewers can watch the short instruction video and some of the tank footage to pick a habitat, then gather together craft materials and get involved. Watch via YouTube link on WODFS website.

2pm - Finishing a day of celebration with a World Oceans Day Dive Show LIVE, viewers can chat to the divers about the exhibit, maybe even while they are underwater. Watch via National Marine Aquarium's Facebook Page.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
