As if there were not enough happening during 2005, we also built and populated
the immensely successful Frogs! A Chorus of Colors exhibit on both levels of Pier 4.
This interactive and engrossing exhibit spotlights the amazing and colorful world of
amphibians and the importance of protecting frogs and their habitats.
December culminated a year of amazing accomplishment and change throughout
the entire Aquarium. The Boards were restructured to reflect contemporary needs;
we prepared for a very successful accreditation from our professional organization;
staff published numerous articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals; and
volunteers provided the Aquarium with services valued at $1.5 million – a record.
This year’s annual report allows us to display the spectacular views of the new
Glass Pavilion in full color from dramatic angles and unexpected heights; to reflect
on the substantial accomplishments of 2005; and to provide heartfelt gratitude to
you and the many individuals, groups, government leaders, and corporate partners
who support our mission and values.
The All New Aquarium Is You.
