We will be doing a mini “Shark School” display in the newly re-opened UAscience Center:Flandrau! This is kind of a kick off for the Fin Foundation’s new partnership with the center as they have taken us under their wing and we are headquartered in the Center now! We will be developing a much bigger display for later in the year and working on educating southern Arizona about marine science and conservation! Come by to say hello!

  • Had a wonderful time at La Petetie Acadamy yesterday! First time presenting for this child care organization and it was great! The kids were very attentive and loved seeing all of the ocean artifacts we brought in! The teacher had seen The Fin Foundation out at Reid Park Zoo during the Christmas Winter lights and was really happy we were able to get in for her group! We look forward t going back sometime soon!

Love doing presentations at First Pres! The staff and the students are all just amazing! More than worth the drive to El Paso! We started off with the little ones first then the older group joined in after about 30 minutes! The kids all learned about all sorts of different marine animals and we were able to talk about conservation/ recycling! These kids are gonna make a difference to the health of our planet someday soon! We had extra help from Zack D. who managed to show the younger kids the shark jaws and some of the whale bones! Thanks buddy! Looking forward to coming back soon!

Great News for the Fin Foundation!!!!

We have some GREAT NEWS! We have begun a partnership in education with UA Science: Flaundrau (formerly The Flandrau Science Center)! One of the great aspects of this partnership is that we will have an office on the UA campus now in the lower level of the science center! There is a full classroom and wet lab joined to the office that will allow for training sessions and use of multiple aquariums! There will be a 250 gallon saltwater aquarium there for all to see! This is a great leap forward for us! Looking forward to getting in there and using all the new resources to help teach marine science in the desert!
