Boxed lunch is included!
Please join CWIT on Tuesday, June 14th for a unique tour of the South Carolina Aquarium and Charleston Maritime Center! Registration is limited to only 25 people, so book now to reserve your space! This email went out to MEMBERS ONLY first - thank you for your ongoing commitment to CWIT!
The SC Aquarium is home to more than 10,000 plants and animals and more than 100 exhibits. The aquarium also utilizes its facilities to operate a Sea Turtle Hospital, and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources transports injured or stranded sea turtles to the hospital, after which aquarium staff and volunteers nurture the animals back to health. We will tour the first floor including the Sea Turtles and the Great Ocean Tank, which is the deepest tank in North America (42 feet), holds more than 385,000 US gallons (1,460,000 l) of water and contains more than 700 animals. A lunch-and-learn will follow, providing details about the Charleston Maritime Center and its future role with the aquarium. Finally, the tour will wrap up with a visit to the Maritime Center, located right down the street. Don't miss this unique behind the scenes opportunity!
