#60: Our Reef Residents - Ari's First Day

I am back from my leave, and so very lucky to be here for Ari's first swim in the Giant Ocean Tank. It was a long road to recovery for her--almost 2 1/2 years from the time she was found on a beach in Louisiana to now.

I had the good fortune of being in the water during her introduction, and caught her on film, exploring the G.O.T. waters for the first time. How cool!

About

The Giant Ocean Tank (GOT) is the New England Aquarium's signature exhibit. The tank is home to more than 630 individual animals representing more than 130 species. Several times a day it is also home to Aquarium divers who feed the animals, help provide medical treatment and clean the exhibit. This blog is written by those divers to give you the inside story on the GOT.
