Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is connected, without anything separating it, to ALL of the oceans on earth. Our Ocean Planet: the New Dolphin Show at the National Aquarium uses the dolphin’s world to teach visitors the important connection between human life and life in the oceans. Beginning April 4th, visitors to this interactive show will engage in the Atlantic bottlenose dolphins’ watery world that is vastly different from ours, yet connected and dependent on us to keep it healthy, making it truly, Our Ocean Planet.

The votes are in, and the National Aquarium’s newest dolphin has a name!

With the help of the Aquarium’s dolphins, Baltimore City Mayor Sheila Dixon announced the winning name during a live broadcast from the shallow end of the dolphin pool.
