Sonoran Sea
Aquarium staff is developing new curriculum about the invasive
aquatic wildlife infecting our streams, rivers and lakes.
Students will learn about the damages Crayfish, Bullfrogs, Zebra
Mussels and even New Zealand Mudsnails inflict on our Desert Waters

Selected classes/students will be invited to attend Crayfish
