From the Mystic Aquarium

NEXT WEEK IS FOR THE SHARKS... Starting Sunday, August 9, check out the Aquarium's social channels for a boatload of shark facts, fun and tails as we dive into a week-long celebration of this elusive predator. And be sure to tune in to Facebook live on Tuesday at 7pm as we face-off with some of our friends at the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy for a shark trivia challenge. See which organization is more shark-savvy and which is just chum in the water! 🦈
