You may have noticed I didn't attempt to ID all of the exhibits as Emily (my Marine Bioligist expert) is visiting friends and family in Texas for a few more days. She had been in Australia for the past year and will return in a few weeks for another year where she is working on a specific fish bacteria as part of a masters program at James Cook University in Townsville. -- Ted Wright -- July 9, 2008
I also wanted to thank Mike Tinker for the behind-the-scenes tour for Emily and letting me tag along. Mike was one of the key people helping Jenks land the aquarium before a brief stint in Collinsville. Mike has been back in Jenks since late 2004. Mike sounds like a proud papa when describing the accomplishments of the aquarium and staff so far as well as plans for on-going improvements.
