Albuquerque: April 4th Aquarium Lecture: A Law With Teeth!

For over thirty years the Endangered Species Act has protected a wide variety of aquatic species including the silvery minnow, Gila trout, sea otter, Florida manatee, right whale and many of our toothy shark friends. Come to the Albuquerque Aquarium theater to learn how the Act works and hear a bit about what it is doing to protect
some of these species from extinction. The April lecture will be presented by Lisa Hummon,
the New Mexico Outreach Representative for the conservation organization Defenders of Wildlife.
