Army Corps of Engineers:
Since 2000, The Aquarium has worked and
collaborated with the Army Corps of Engineers
for the Environmental Coordination of the
Middle Mississippi River and on the Dead
Zone Commission.
Sustainable Seafood Campaign:
As part of the International
Aquarium Congress and a global task force,
we are recommending that each person commit
themselves by buying seafood that is "sustainable"
to become effective in creating a positive
change in the environment. We believe
that by identifying sustainable and best
practices toward the fishery and aquaculture
industries and by acting locally, the
consumer can make a difference through
their economic activity of feeding their
families a nutritious diet that will also
protect, preserve, and conserve our world’s
living aquatic ecosystems.
