BaltimoreVideo: The Making of Blacktip Reef

Blacktip Reef video

As we prepare for Blacktip Reef, we'll be sharing sneak peeks of the making of the new exhibit. Where do the animals come from? What do we do with them when they get here? What goes into building a 260,000-gallon tank? We'll be answering these questions and more throughout the year. Check out this first behind-the-scenes video!
