National Aquarium Announces Opening Date For New Exhibit

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The National Aquarium has announced that its newest interactive exhibit, Living Seashore, will open May 12.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and local students will join National Aquarium CEO John Racanelli to officially open the exhibit.

"We created Living Seashore to inspire our guests to take personal action to protect those special aquatic places of the Chesapeake Bay and Mid-Atlantic seashore that truly comprise our backyard," said Racanelli. "Two large touch pools will bring guests face-to-face with the fascinating animals that live along our spectacular beaches. We hope what they learn there will motivate them to become shoreline conservationists themselves."

The exhibit will take guests on a journey to explore the ever-changing Mid-Atlantic seashore.
