The National Aquarium is a nonprofit organization
whose mission is to inspire conservation
of the world’s aquatic treasures.

2 | ANNUAL REPORT 2014
Every day, I am impressed by the National
Aquarium’s staff, who have dedicated themselves
to our compelling mission to inspire conserva-
tion of the world’s aquatic treasures. Whether
working to enlighten guests about the plight of
coral reefs or coordinating restoration efforts
throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed, our
staff—both paid and volunteer—are singularly
focused on that mission. It defines who we are.
This year saw the opening of Blacktip Reef,
which greatly increased our capacity to delight
and educate 1.3 million annual guests with a
message of hope for these iconic Indo-Pacific
coral reefs. Our animal rescue team released its
100th rehabilitated animal, and our conserva-
tion action team restored its 25th acre of Ches-
apeake Bay habitat. We also completed Phase
One of BLUEprint, an intense examination of
our future potential and the evolving role of
aquaria amid unparalleled global climate change.
Through revitalized exhibits, animal care
that is second to none, and conservation-based
experiences for Marylanders and guests from
49 states and 17 countries, we are becoming
an international force for aquatic awareness
and action. This trend will continue.
All of our achievements in 2013 were
made possible through the support of our
generous donors. Your unique contributions
allow us to realize our vision to change the
way humanity views—and cares for—our
interconnected, life-giving ocean. Thank you
for your role in making this vision a reality.

THE POWER of ONE | 3
Our National Aquarium community has been
engaged in a thorough rethinking of our assets
and opportunities, envisioning a future that
will position us as thought leaders and inspi-
rational builders for a future of aquatic con-
servation. Part of that process was developing
a comprehensive strategic plan, which is being
revised to integrate the findings and recom-
mendations from the BLUEprint process.
Through this important work, we will con-
nect people more directly to aquatic habitats. We
will expand our audience to achieve greater im-
pact in the field of conservation. We will protect
our immediate environs—the Chesapeake Bay
and Mid-Atlantic coast—and build partnerships
with organizations with compatible missions.
And we will expand our expertise and advocacy
for measurable impact in conservation science.
These strategies have led to a catalytic
moment in our history that demands that we
discard misconceptions and outdated constraints
to pave the way for new ideas and a different role
in the world. As that vision takes shape, we are
excited about the impact we can make in con-
serving and protecting precious natural resources.
I’d like to extend my deepest gratitude to all
of our donors who have supported our pursuit
of ocean conservation through their individual
contributions. You give us the power to carry out
our mission each and every day, and we appreci-
ate your support as we enter a new and exciting
stage in our evolution.

THE STORY of ONE
Each person who shifts perceptions, works with passion and
inspires others to follow is imperative in the effort to conserve
the world’s aquatic treasures. Fortunately, the National
Aquarium is blessed with many such individuals. From board
leaders and marine specialists to dedicated volunteers and
loyal donors, each is making meaningful contributions to the
success of our collective mission.

ONE DROP of WATER
THE TRICKLE OF A BROOK, THE RUSH OF A RIVER, THE POUNDING
WAVES OF VAST SEAS—ALL START WITH A SINGLE DROP.
At the National Aquarium, each drop of water
is of great value, and we are sharing that mes-
sage with each guest and each new generation.
With so many interesting inhabitants in our
exhibits, water itself often goes unnoticed. But
every day, we carefully maintain more than 2
million gallons of water within our Aquarium
systems, providing the highest-quality water to
17,000 animals. All of the saltwater in our
exhibits is homemade—a combination of
Baltimore City water and a house blend of
salts—and the water is tested daily for quality.
This commitment to water persists even
beyond the Aquarium itself. In 2013, Eric
Schwaab was appointed as our first-ever chief
conservation officer, underscoring our dedica-
tion to leadership in ocean preservation and
environmental stewardship.
“From the arid Australian Outback to
the tropical rain forest, each drop of water
connects and contributes to life on this plan-
et,” Schwaab says. “Here in the Inner Harbor,
which is part of the Chesapeake Bay, we sit on
the edge of one of the most compromised
bodies of water in the country. We need to
take greater responsibility, engage more active-
ly and take better care of our watershed.”
Our role in conservation includes incorpo-
rating new green technologies. “We are trying
to be good citizens of the watershed,” Schwaab
notes. “We’ve made an expanded commitment
to renewable energy through a power purchase
agreement with our partner Constellation, an
Exelon company, and we’ve made our mechan-
ical infrastructure more energy-efficient.”
Aquarium programs engage students and
volunteers in projects to clean up the banks
of streams and rivers, plant marsh grasses that
filter Bay waters and pick up urban debris
before it enters storm drains.
We have many partners in conservation,
including national environmental organiza-
tions and generous supporters. We’ve worked
with the Maryland General Assembly to
address the effects of carbon-based pollution
and ocean acidification. Our efforts in fishery
sustainability have been bolstered by a grant
from the Gordon and Betty Moore Founda-
tion, which addresses the uncertainties of
assessing stock and preventing overfishing.
“We have a unique opportunity to show
people this other world,” Schwaab says, “and
to inspire them to appreciate and protect our
amazing aquatic resources.”

“People think pollution
is caused by that
smokestack or outfall
pipe or the other guy,
but each of us can
make daily choices
that play a huge part
in protecting clean
water.”

ONE CAMERA
EAGER TO PRESERVE IMAGES OF OUR INHABITANTS, GUESTS OFTEN
BECOME DEDICATED TO THE ANIMALS’ PRESERVATION IN THE WILD.
Whether it’s to capture a child’s reaction to
Blacktip Reef or take a family photo in the
Australian Outback, the camera quickly
emerges when guests step into the Aquari-
um. “Families come to have a great time
together, to create memories, to celebrate,”
says Heather Doggett, director of visitor
programs. “Children are always surprised
when they come nose to nose with majestic
animals from diverse habitats. They’ll look
into an animal’s eyes and feel such awe that
it ignites a spark to help the species in its
natural environment.”
Some of the Aquarium’s staff, in fact,
were just such children, who visited and were
inspired to become professional aquarists,
conservationists and marine educators. “Each
day, our staff talks with young people about
our animals, their excellent care and how
we can all make decisions that will protect
them,” Doggett says. “Their curiosity can
translate into deeper learning. Eventually
they start questioning and tracking threats to
the health of the ocean.”
Staff are in the galleries, talking with
guests and groups of schoolchildren as they
explore. “They may push a cart with intrigu-
ing items for children to touch,” Doggett
says. “They will talk about the incredible
animals, the threats they face in the wild and
how we can help.” The Aquarium also hosts
immersion programs, including behind-the-
scenes glimpses of animal care and overnight
sleepovers with dolphins and sharks.
These interactions are critical to carrying
out our mission. In 2013, guests enjoyed
on-site event programming, our Friday night
Cultural Series and the Marjorie Lynn Bank
Lecture Series, which highlighted issues rele-
vant to marine conservation.
Aquarium visitors won’t see the distinc-
tion, but they will encounter both paid and
volunteer staff during a tour, and all of them
share a passion for their roles. “We teach
preschoolers about environmental manners,
which are the building blocks of treating our
Earth gently,” Doggett says. “Our interpretive
staff have a gentleness and an appreciation of
nature while also conveying scientific skills of
observation and hypothesizing. Our teen
interpreters are some of our best ambassadors
because of their energy and their keen under-
standing of conservation, which becomes part
of their value system.”

“Every day, we provide our guests with
life-enhancing experiences—moments of
laughter, learning, sharing, discovery and joy.”

ONE HEAD of LETTUCE
CALYPSO’S DAY BEGINS WITH A HEAD OF ROMAINE—FOLLOWED BY
EIGHT MORE, PLUS BRUSSELS SPROUTS, CARROTS AND SQUID.
Calypso, the Aquarium’s beloved 500-pound
green sea turtle, was the first to move into
Blacktip Reef, which opened in August. In one
sense, she was literally testing the waters. The
exhibit’s installation began with one batch of
seawater that was custom-made to match wa-
ter in the natural Indo-Pacific environment.
“Because turtles don’t have gills, the tran-
sition wasn’t going to affect a reptile as much
as it would a fish,” says Jack Cover, general
curator. “In addition, Calypso’s waste helped
grow the new biological filtration system.”
When Calypso arrived here more than
a decade ago, she was cold stunned, and her
injured left flipper had to be amputated. Now
a permanent resident, she delights visitors and
represents the fascinating character
of all seven species of sea turtles.
In addition to this guest favorite, Animal
Care staff are responsible for the health and
well-being of nearly 17,000 Aquarium resi-
dents. Each one is meticulously monitored and
cared for, but few visitors would suspect the
intricate choreography at work in each display.
“We create microhabitats to make the
animals feel comfortable so they act as they
would in the wild, while also encouraging
them to be within view of visitors,” Cover says.
“A moray eel feels at home in a crevice near
the window, while our reptiles frequent warm
basking areas. This exhibit has 20 blacktip reef
sharks, which is a number you would see in
a healthy reef environment, as well as schools
of smaller fish, which can duck into the coral
when a shark comes along.”
When the Aquarium’s Washington,
D.C., location closed in fall 2013, about
1,100 animals were moved to Baltimore
and the off-site Animal Care Center. White-
tail damselfish, freckled hawkfish, emperor
angelfish and a guineafowl puffer joined
Brownie, a loggerhead sea turtle, and Toby,
a rare blue lobster on the journey.
The year was also noteworthy for births
in our animal population, including Scout,
a Linne’s two-toed sloth; Victory, a puffin
chick; and Chloe, a sandbar shark pup at
home in the Atlantic Coral Reef exhibit.
By creating awareness of these animals and
their habitats, Aquarium staff firmly believe
they can make an impact. “Some people say
it’s too late to save the world’s coral reefs, but
there is still time,” Cover says. “The individual
choices we make each day make a difference.”

ONE SCHOOL of SHARKS
BLACKTIP REEF REVEALS THE UNDERWATER WORLD OF AN INDO-
PACIFIC REEF, WHERE SHARKS HELP SUSTAIN A FRAGILE ECOSYSTEM.
A defining characteristic of blacktip reef
sharks is their camaraderie—these fish of-
ten swim in schools to survive, and the star
residents of our Blacktip Reef exhibit are no
different. Our collection of 20 blacktip reef
sharks spent 18 months at our Animal Care
Center before moving into their new home,
so once the big day came, they had already
enjoyed plenty of bonding time.
Joining them were 759 other animals from
69 different species, including multiple shark
species, clown triggerfish, emperor angelfish,
two stingray species, a Napoleon wrasse, a
moray eel and a green sea turtle. In a natural
reef, the inhabitants would prey on one anoth-
er. But in our setting, the marine animals are
well-fed so that typical predators don’t feel the
need to hunt for their food.
“The idea was to create a dynamic new
exhibit that would tell a larger story,” says
Holly Bourbon, curator of large fish exhibits
and dive operations. “Visitors witness the
delicate balance of an Indo-Pacific coral reef,
enjoy its beauty and appreciate the impor-
tance of preserving these ecosystems.”
The $12.7 million, 270,000-gallon ex-
hibit was an immediate hit and has enduring
appeal, amplifying our dedication to conser-
vation, education and restoration. In the first
six months, Blacktip Reef welcomed almost
400,000 visitors, including 46,000 students.
Designed to provide Aquarium guests
with multiple vantage points, the exhibit
offers three side and top-down views, plus
a floor-to-ceiling pop-out window that lets
visitors virtually step inside the reef and enjoy
a personal encounter with its inhabitants.
Guests experience interactive presentations,
witness shark feedings, learn from diver
education talks and explore sea creatures on
discovery carts. Overnight guests sign up for
our “Sleepover with the Sharks” Immersion
Tour, and enthusiasts continue to watch the
action online through our live Shark Cam, in
partnership with Discovery Channel.
The balance in Blacktip Reef is fascinating
and fragile, just as it is in the wild. “When
we remove too many of any marine species
by shark finning or overfishing—or cause
the bleaching and demise of ocean corals by
climate change and acidification—the impact
reverberates like a domino effect,” Bourbon
says. “Before long, we could lose the ecosys-
tems that sustain us.”

“As apex predators at
the top of their food
chain, sharks keep an
ecosystem in balance
and help maintain
diversity—but they
need our protection
from overfishing.”

Holding an oyster for the first time, feeling
its weight and the pattern of smooth and
rough waves across its shell, could be the
first personal connection a child makes with
the Chesapeake Bay. Through our education
programs, those connections are strengthened
as students further explore the watershed and
learn about the critical role each oyster, and
each living thing, plays in this habitat.
In our Week on the Bay program, stu-
dents visit an oyster hatchery and learn about
how the oyster population affects the Bay’s
water quality, which depends on the mollusks
for filtration. Students spend four days discov-
ering marshes and waterways through beach
seining, canoe trips and water testing, and
even get the opportunity to sail on a skipjack.
Others get acquainted with the Chesa-
peake through our AquaPartners program,
which offers the kind of hands-on learning ex-
perience children just can’t get in a classroom.
“In spring, fourth-graders go to Fort
McHenry to watch birds, learn about wetland
soils and plants, and address human impact
by picking up debris,” says Joe Harber, direc-
tor of education programs. “Fifth-graders visit
Sandy Point State Park for a day of seining
along the shoreline. With a long net pulled
through the water, we’ll find small fish and
crabs. Many of the students have never seen
the Bay and think it’s the ocean.”
Thanks to the philanthropy of Transamer-
ica and other generous funders, AquaPartners
expanded in 2013 to include third-graders.
Middle- and high-school students, who par-
ticipate in summer camps through the Henry
Hall Program, tag sharks off Ocean City,
watch sea turtles in Georgia, explore coral reefs
in the Florida Keys and examine the rocky
coasts of Maine. Once exposed to the natural
marine world, many program participants
return repeatedly for even deeper experiences.
Aquarium education also extends to
partnering with marine professionals through
forums like the Symposium on Sea Turtle Bi-
ology and Conservation; to legislators through
advocacy on banning the shark fin trade; and
to the public through the Fresh Thoughts Sus-
tainable Seafood Dining Series and the weekly
radio program, “A Blue View.” Our education
enlightens and inspires people to help protect
our aquatic treasures, and we couldn’t have
done it without the individuals and organiza-
tions who offered their support in 2013.

Even the smallest changes can affect the
planet—for better or for worse. Ditching sin-
gle-use bottles for reusable ones, for example,
can save 168 plastic bottles a year. A major
part of our mission is empowering others to
recognize their impact and take action.
“Start claiming responsibility for your
one piece of the world,” advises Laura Bankey,
director of conservation. “Keep your neighbor-
hood free of debris, find natural alternatives
to pesticides, recycle rainwater, landscape with
native plants that support pollinators and wild
birds and avoid invasive species. Each one of
us can have a significant impact.”
The National Aquarium is leading by
example. At the end of 2013, we installed
water fountains in the Aquarium that are
capable of refilling reusable water bottles.
Each fountain keeps track of the cumulative
number of plastic water bottles that were
saved. We recycle cooking oil, batteries, tennis
shoes and e-waste. We don’t offer plastic lids
and straws to our guests, and our plates and
utensils are reusable or compostable.
Our efforts continue outside the facilities
as well—last year, the plaza was certified by
the National Wildlife Federation as a back-
yard habitat, welcoming migrating birds and
butterflies that share our urban spaces.
We are also engaged in wider conservation
efforts and actively advocate for conservation
policies. We celebrated in 2013 when the
Maryland General Assembly banned posses-
sion, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins,
ending the state’s contribution to the collapse
of shark populations worldwide.
Throughout the six-state Chesapeake Bay
watershed, we organize volunteers to restore
sand dunes and riparian buffers, and plant
native trees, shrubs and grasses to improve
filtration and prevent erosion. Students are
helping to bring back the rare Atlantic white
cedar to coastal wetlands, restoring natural
habitat for many species of birds and plants.
One local project on the Patapsco River,
Masonville Cove, was designated by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service in 2013 as the na-
tion’s first Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership.
“At a nearby site, the wetlands adjacent to
Fort McHenry National Monument and His-
toric Shrine, volunteers recorded 261 species
of birds, many of which were migrating along
the Atlantic Flyway,” Bankey notes. “Our little
green patches are important for wildlife.”

ONE SATELLITE TAG
EACH ANIMAL COMES TO US WITH A STORY. UPON RELEASE, MANY
BEGIN A NEW TALE WE CAN FOLLOW THROUGH SATELLITE TAGS.
Portsmouth, as of press time, had traveled
nearly 3,000 miles since his stint in rehab
at the National Aquarium’s Animal Rescue
Center in summer 2013. Thanks to this en-
dangered loggerhead turtle’s satellite tag, we’ve
been able to track his progress in the wild.
A year ago, however, his story wasn’t
such a happy one. Portsmouth had ingested
a recreational fish hook and was transferred
to the National Aquarium for treatment.
When surgeons removed the fish hook from
his esophagus, they were surprised to discover
a second, older one. Thankfully, the center’s
veterinarians and specialists were able to
successfully remove both, and Portsmouth
was released into the warm waters of Virginia
Beach in October.
One at a time, injured marine animals
arrive at the National Aquarium’s Animal Res-
cue Center, and each gets expert, individual-
ized attention. Some released turtles and seals
are equipped with satellite and acoustic tags
for tracking and research. The turtle transmit-
ters generally last longer than those on seals,
which lose the devices when they molt.
“We are validating our rehab efforts,”
says Jennifer Dittmar, manager of animal
rescue. “We’re making sure that what we’re
doing is leading these animals to a successful
reintroduction to their natural environment
and collecting data on migratory patterns and
environmental conditions.”
After a record-breaking cold-stun season,
our rescue team joined New England Aquar-
ium staff on a Sea Turtle Trek to Florida,
where 52 rehabilitated sea turtles were re-
leased. Several seals were also rescued in 2013,
including Sodapop, a harbor seal that arrived
emaciated, with a severe respiratory infection
and cuts and scrapes on his face and hips;
Ponyboy, a grey seal with a serious wound to
his left front flipper; and Eyegore, a grey seal
with respiratory and eye infections. All were
treated and released.
Animal Rescue offers outreach and
education events and maintains a 24-hour
stranding hotline. Since 1991, Animal Rescue
has responded to reports of stranded marine
mammals and sea turtles. In June 2013, the
rescue team released two Kemp’s ridleys—a
critically endangered species—and a green sea
turtle into the Chesapeake Bay, celebrating
the 100th, 101st and 102nd successful treat-
ment and return to the wild.

“Each injured or ill sea turtle that we can
heal and return to the wild adds to the
genetic viability of the natural population,
which is really important.”

Whether it’s rescuing and caring for marine
animals, maintaining water quality for our
exhibits, leading conservation efforts or edu-
cating others on the world’s aquatic wonders,
everything we do at the National Aquarium
revolves around one critical element: water.
Our water is constantly changing form,
the eternal shape-shifter, but in all its per-
mutations, it is vital to our existence. Water’s
most powerful manifestation, the ocean, holds
the key to our survival. We have yet to explore
all of its vast mysteries or understand all of
its lessons, but we do know that we ignore its
health at our peril.
The National Aquarium showcases the
vibrant colors of tropical fish, the amazing
structure of coral reefs and the silky glide
of sharks and rays. We take visitors to the
Australian Outback, the Indo-Pacific islands,
the rain forest and the Chesapeake Bay and
introduce their fascinating inhabitants. We
educate our guests about their value—and the
threats that particularly jeopardize so many
aquatic species. From overfishing to acidifica-
tion, many of our most intriguing sea crea-
tures are under stress or severely endangered.
Our ocean’s inhabitants share a world of
balance and beauty, with an intricate intercon-
nectedness that sustains marine life and extends
to human beings. An aquatic plant or animal
may hold the cure to a devastating illness or
be an essential link in a chain of sustainable
nourishment. We simply cannot disregard the
well-being of Earth’s most prominent feature.
For the sake of generations present and future,
we must be good stewards of our one ocean.

ONE VOLUNTEER
Each one of our terrific volunteers has an outsized impact
on the National Aquarium—in 2013, interns and volunteers
contributed a record-setting 124,390 service hours, a
4 percent increase above the previous year. We wouldn’t
have been able to offer a full range of programs and ser-
vices without their support, and our appreciation goes out
to each and every volunteer who made it happen.

ONE FUTURE
In pursuing our mission to inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures,
the extent of our impact depends on the generosity and dedication of our donors,
volunteers and members. Because of them, we’ve been able to educate others,
advocate for our ocean and take action toward a healthier planet.
You have the opportunity to be a part of that impact. As a private, nonprofit
organization, the National Aquarium needs your support to continue effecting
change through its world-class exhibits, education programs and conservation initia-
tives. Join us as we help transform the way humanity views and cares for the ocean.
Become a member, make a donation or dedicate your time.
Through our volunteer program, you can take on a variety of exciting
responsibilities, including feeding our animals, guiding guests through the
exhibits, assisting our aquarists and more. To learn more about volunteering,
visit aqua.org/volunteer, call (410) 576-3886 or email volunteer@aqua.org.
To find out how to make an individual, corporate or foundation
gift, call our development office at (410) 659-4217. We greatly
appreciate your support and encourage you to explore more
ways to get involved at aqua.org.
