I visited the aquarium several years ago and they have a large exhibit dedicated to this work. The aquarium itself is also really awesome so worth the visit anyway. Their main exhibit is a four story tank in the middle of everything that a ramp spirals around. At the top they feed the very old green sea turtle that resides there.

Yes! Myrtle's awesome, I still remember one time as a kid when she noticed me through the glass and started following me from window to window; she'd come look at me with my hands on the glass (softly! I NEVER banged the glass, I knew it was like having someone clap loudly right next to your ears) then I'd run to the next window, and she followed. Followed me a third the way around the tank before she got distracted by a diver coming in for feeding time, the greedyguts. xD
