Maria Lundberg stops by the state aquarium located at Fort Fisher that offers numerous ways to observe and learn about marine life. There are daily programs and demonstrations, such as animal feedings, “Creature Feature”, “Dialogue with a Diver”, animal encounters, and a behind-the-scenes tour. Some of the highlights are the Bamboo Shark exhibit, Dolphin Discovery, and the Megalodon exhibit about the largest prehistoric shark and the biggest marine predator that ever existed. The aquarium also has an active conservation and research program. (New Hanover Co.)
