The National Aquarium in Baltimore will celebrate Beyond the Boardwalk, a series of events celebrating ocean life, and sharing ways to protect and restore our local waterways for thousands of animals that call them home. Annually taking place in June, Beyond the Boardwalk features a variety of exciting and interactive programs, games and stories on ways adults and children can be responsible and get involved.

Funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s brownfields program will help the National Aquarium’s Center for Aquatic Life and Conservation clean up a 13-acre site here along the Patapsco River.

2008 is the Year of the Frog! Starting February 29th – Leap Day – the National Aquarium in Baltimore and more than 70 members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) around the country will hold fun, family-friendly events and programs to educate people about amphibian conservation.
