How The Georgia Aquarium Works

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

The Georgia Aquarium is the largest of its type in the world. How do they filter the water, maintain temperatures, and feed the marine life? An astonishing 261, 000 gallons of water is filtered per minute. Part of the staff is dedicated to feeding each species of animal its specified diet. It takes over 1,000 volunteers and 200 staff members to run this amazing place! Show this video to young marine biologists for enrichment, or to a career exploration class.
