Monterey Bay Aquarium -- Sea Notes -- Monday, 20 Sep 2004
Welcome to Sea Notes, a periodic update for media with exhibit, travel, conservation & science news from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Just two items in this edition of Sea Notes – but they’re big ones:
TOP STORIES
White shark goes on exhibit, feeds in Outer Bay exhibit
2. 20th anniversary celebration Oct. 23 & 24 includes George Lopez, Peter Benchley
**Details & links**
WHITE SHARK: The only white shark on exhibit anywhere in the world was placed in our million-gallon Outer Bay exhibit on September 15 – and she stunned our husbandry team by feeding aggressively the first two days in the exhibit. This marks the first time that a white shark has accepted food offered by staff in an aquarium. It’s a breakthrough that gives us hope that she will remain here on long-term exhibit so we can share conservation stories and improve white sharks’ prospects for survival in the wild.

20TH ANNIVERSARY: We’ll celebrate our 20th anniversary with a weekend of special events on Saturday and Sunday, October 23 & 24. Saturday is “Shark Day” when special guests will include “Jaws” author Peter Benchley and we’ll offer a host of shark-related activities. Sunday’s “Big Birthday Bash” will feature actor/comedian George Lopez as our special guest, along with entertainment and activities for kids, birthday cake and a parade. Children under 12 are admitted free on Sunday.
