Georgia Aquarium: Keepers of the Deep

30 minutes, produced 2006

GEORGIA AQUARIUM: KEEPERS OF THE DEEP brings viewers up close and personal with creatures at the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, including whale sharks, beluga whales and a couple of spunky sea otters named Oz and Gracie. We are taken behind the scenes to see how scientists, engineers and veterinarians create and manage the world's largest aquarium, located in Atlanta Georgia, 300 miles inland of the nearest ocean.

The Georgia Aquarium is the gift of American philanthropist Bernie Marcus, who opened the aquarium in 2005.

We learn how medicine, biology, zoology, nutrition, environmental science and engineering each play a vital role in the management of the aquarium, since every animal and plant, as well as water and light source, needs exquisite care to thrive. We learn how designated teams of biologists, engineers and veterinarians work around the clock 24 hours a day, to care for the aquarium's growing population of animals. And most importantly, we learn of the important role the aquarium plays in teaching visitors about the relationship between humans and the well being of the planet's sea life.
