Aquarium The
Vancouver Aquarium has started a Leatherback Turtle Awareness Program,
to learn more about these endangered turtles that use British Columbia
waters as one of their habitats. We are asking for help to
report any sightings of sea turtles in coastal communities. In
exchange, teachers, students, and community groups are provided with
learning activities that will show us what we can do to help the
Leatherback turtles. Visit their website to find out more about
their Awareness Program.
