In 2006, Aquarius Aquarium Institute collected a green sea anemone who joined our popular Teaching Tidepools® program. Now, two decades later, that same animal is still thriving—and still traveling with our school outreach experience—meeting new students year after year.
That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident. It happens because people care enough to stay committed.
The sped-up video above shows our anemone feeding on a small frozen green cube of food. It’s a simple routine, but it’s an important reason why this animal has lived so long in our care. Consistency matters. Stable conditions matter. Showing up—again and again—matters. These principles apply day after day, year after year.
And that’s where you come in.
The Fresno Aquarium is being built with the same philosophy. Not as a one-time effort, but as a long-term commitment to education, stewardship, and community learning.
Longevity is built, not rushed. And it’s built together.
🌊 Be Part of the Staying Power
Dedication matters. In animals. In education. And in building something meaningful for a community.
