Volunteer Experience

Galway Atlantiquaria, Volunteer

2024-02 - 2024-05

I helped out the aquarium staff with preparing food for all the fishes as well as assisting with the feeds. I tested the water quality and temperatures of the tanks. I also scrubbed the algae from the inside of the tanks. I answered any questions that people visiting us may have about our fishes and animals. I gave feeding tours of many of our different tanks throughout the day and I also assisted in moving some of the fishes from one tank to another.
