WE KNOW THAT WHEN PEOPLE EXPERIENCE AQUATIC ANIMALS UP CLOSE, IT MOTIVATES AN EMOTIONAL, EMPATHETIC RESPONSE THAT SHIFTS ATTITUDES AND FOSTERS A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR STEWARDSHIP OF LOCAL WATERS, GLOBAL OCEANS, AND WILDLIFE. THE AQUARIUM IS COMMITTED TO BEING ONE OF CHICAGO'S MOST ACCESSIBLE CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS, OFFERING ILLINOIS RESIDENT FREE DAYS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, FREE ADMISSION EVERY DAY AS THE NATION'S FIRST AQUARIUM TO JOIN THE MUSEUMS FOR ALL PROGRAM, AN EVERYDAY DISCOUNT FOR CHICAGO RESIDENTS, STUDENTS AND SENIOR CITIZENS, AND FREE ADMISSION FOR TEACHERS, POLICE AND FIRE PERSONNEL, AND ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY. INSIDE THE AQUARIUM WALLS, A SUITE OF IMPACTFUL GUEST ENGAGEMENTS, INCLUDING LIVING EXHIBITS AND EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES BEHIND THE SCENES, CREATE MEMORABLE CONNECTIONS TO ANIMALS, WHILE MILLIONS OF ADDITIONAL LEARNERS WORLDWIDE MAKE VIRTUAL CONNECTIONS THROUGH SHEDD'S EDUCATIONAL ONLINE PLATFORMS.

| Desc | CONSERVATION SCIENCE AND RESEARCH: SHEDD IS LOCATED IN CHICAGO, BUT ITS RESEARCH IS WORLDWIDE. ITS HUSBANDRY, VETERINARY AND CONSERVATION PROGRAMS ARE GROUNDED IN RESEARCH THAT SUPPORTS HEALTHY ANIMALS AT SHEDD AND VIBRANT WILD POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. SHEDD'S CONSERVATION RESEARCH PROGRAMS WORK TO MAXIMIZE BIODIVERSITY WHILE PRESERVING LOCAL LIVELIHOODS, AND FIELD RESEARCHERS OFTEN WORK SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH CITIZEN SCIENTISTS TO CONSERVE WILDLIFE AND HABITATS FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE AQUARIUM'S WORK INCLUDES MORE THAN TWO DECADES OF RESEARCH ON BAHAMIAN ROCK IGUANAS, ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST CRITICALLY ENDANGERED LIZARDS, AS WELL AS STUDIES OF QUEEN CONCH, LOBSTER, SHARKS AND CORALS. CLOSER TO HOME, SHEDD'S GREAT LAKES RESEARCH FOCUSES ON HIGH PRIORITY WILDLIFE AND HABITAT CONSERVATION ISSUES; THE AQUARIUM'S APPLIED STUDIES SUPPORT LOCAL AND REGIONAL AGENCIES IN DEVELOPING SOUND MANAGEMENT PLANS THAT CAN PROTECT THIS TREASURED NATIONAL RESOURCE. ONSITE, SHEDD'S STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES, AND ANIMAL CARE EXPERTS SERVE AS RESOURCES FOR RESEARCH PARTNERS IN CHICAGO AND AROUND THE UNITED STATES. ONSITE RESEARCH PROVIDES VALUABLE BIOLOGICAL AND BEHAVIORAL INFORMATION THAT INFORMS UNDERSTANDING OF SPECIES WHICH ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STUDY IN THE WILD. IN ADDITION TO SHARING WHAT IT LEARNS WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY, SHEDD'S ONSITE WORK ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO ITS OWN FIELD RESEARCH, SUCH AS HEALTH ASSESSMENTS OF WILD BELUGA WHALES. | Desc |
