Attendees will learn how the cutting-edge facility blends world-class architecture with Mote\u2019s 70-year legacy of marine research, scientific innovation and aquarium expertise; and the process of transferring and translating marine science into interactive and dynamic exhibits that advance ocean conservation, public engagement and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Barniskis joined the Mote Marine Laboratory in 2006. In his current role, he oversees all aspects of Mote Aquarium\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
