Whale Shark Spotted by 2024 Baja EcoEdventurers

This new school year, a group of formal and non-formal educators brings with them a shared commitment to conservation and new tools to inspire their audiences. Coming together from all over the United States and from all different subject areas and levels of experience, 16 educators selected for a North Carolina Aquariums EcoEdventure took up the work of whale shark conservation in Bahia de los Angeles, Baja in summer 2024. Gail Lemiec, unique experiences coordinator, NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher and Nicole Warren, outreach coordinator at NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, led the educators in adventures off the beaten path and far-reaching in the difference they make for conservation.
