VIMS will be joining on select days throughout the week, providing a display focused on the VIMS Shark Survey (celebrating its 50th anniversary next year in 2024) as well as highlighting the species found locally in Bay waters as well as along the coast through a variety of preserved specimens, jaws, and informational posters. All activities are included with aquarium admission!
