Aquarium Husbandry Volunteer

Behind-the-scenes husbandry volunteers assist with maintenance of six 500 to 2,500 gallon saltwater Model Ecosystems and other small aquaria. Duties include feedings, monitoring water chemistry, specimen collection using seine nets, performing routine water exchanges and monitoring aquaria systems. Aquarium husbandry volunteers must be able to stand for extended periods and climb short ladders and stairs. Husbandry volunteers may also interact with the public and answer questions regarding specimens and aquaria.
