Mr. Neal D. Borden
I joined the Aquarium in the hectic days
leading up to our opening in 1981. At
the time, we were creating something brand
new, and aquariums were largely unknown
as attractions. In the intervening 30 years,
our success has inspired many other cities
to build aquariums in their own urban
renewal plans. Now the National Aquarium
is two venues in two cities, and is known
around the world for beautiful displays,
our commitment to conservation and our
education programs. It has been personally
and professionally gratifying to work with a
great team of colleagues (paid and unpaid)
and an honor to steer this organization.
A leadership search is well underway, and I
will remain at the helm until the Aquarium’s
new executive director is named.

lasting memories of your own with your
loved ones—of times together among our
exhibits, of volunteering at a planting
event, or perhaps of joining the animal
rescue team on a beach to release a rehabilitated seal or turtle. The Aquarium offers
so many ways to help our aquatic world,
and I invite you to explore the options that
membership opens for you.
Watermarks readers, you’ve journeyed with us from ocean depths to rain forest tree tops, interacting with our cast of 16,000 colorful
characters; witnessed the heart-warming release of previously injured animals to their aquatic homes; learned important lessons about
the health of aquatic ecosystems; and come along for the ride as we restored, protected and preserved the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Moving On
National Aquarium Institute Executive Director Dave Pittenger
Bids Farewell
BY MOLLY SHEEHAN
After nearly 30 years with the National
Aquarium, including 15 years at its helm,
Executive Director Dave Pittenger is
bidding farewell to a committed staff, a
dedicated corps of volunteers and more
than 16,000 animals as he begins the
next chapter of his professional life. “It
has been personally and professionally
gratifying to work with a great team of
colleagues to steer this organization. The
Aquarium has returned tenfold whatever
I have contributed,” says Pittenger, when
asked to summarize his three decades.
Pittenger’s involvement with zoos and
aquariums goes back to his very first
job, selling balloons at the Philadelphia
Zoo at age 14. Pittenger began his
professional zoo and aquarium career
when he joined the National Aquarium
in 1979. As the Aquarium’s first education director, even in those early days
Pittenger was laying the foundation to
expand the Aquarium beyond its walls.
He established outreach programs to
Baltimore City public schools two years
before the Aquarium opened its doors,
and implemented several youth education
programs, including the Henry Hall
scholarship program. These programs
set the precedent for the future quality
and scope of the National Aquarium’s
educational programming.
Pittenger became the Aquarium’s
executive director in 1995, taking on
a long to-do list. Remembers Founding
Board Chair, Frank Gunther, “[Dave’s]
primary role was to shepherd the
construction of the Marine Mammal
Pavilion.” It was no small project, but
the pavilion was a huge success, and
the dolphin show remains a much loved
part of a National Aquarium visit.
Since that time, the dolphins have
remained one of Pittenger’s personal
favorites, particularly the many dolphin
births through the years. He’s been here
for all of them because, as Gunther
notes, “Dave has been in the role of
executive director longer than anyone.”
Bringing dolphins to Baltimore was
only the first of the large projects led
by Pittenger that expanded the physical
footprint of the National Aquarium.
“During his tenure we voted as a board
to go ahead with the Australia project,”
explains another long-time board
member and former board chair, Rand
Griffin, “and at the same time we got
involved in acquiring the DC venue and
also acquiring the Middle Branch site.”
These projects significantly expanded
the size and reach of the National
Aquarium. The addition in 2005 of the
glass pavilion that houses Animal Planet

the Baltimore venue to three buildings.
After partnering with the National
Aquarium in Baltimore in 2003, the
National Aquarium in Washington, DC
underwent an extreme makeover. It now
features exhibits representing America’s
Aquatic Treasures™, and plans are well
underway to continue improving and
expanding that venue on the National
Mall. And by cleaning up the once-toxic
brownfield property at the Middle
Branch, and designating it for a 12.5 acre
publicly-accessible park, the National
Aquarium is reclaiming another of
Baltimore’s prized waterfronts.
But perhaps Pittenger’s biggest job
was evolving public perception of the
National Aquarium. Though known
as a successful attraction, the National
Aquarium truly has conservation at
its core. In 2010, with the help of
many Aquarium partners, that push to

Pittenger expects he will always
be working toward the National
Aquarium’s mission.
emphasize conservation culminated with
the formation of the National Aquarium
Conservation Center, an entity dedicated
to field conservation and advocacy for
aquatic species and environments.
“With this new National Aquarium
affiliate, we’ve moved past the aquarium
just being viewed as an economic engine
for the state to something that’s really
on the cusp of being a global leader,”
says Griffin. “And when we look back
on it, it will really be [that all began]
under Dave’s watch.”

just beginning to understand. Even
so, we search for some connection

welcomes Horenstein’s beautiful photography to the Baltimore venue.
Though his departure is bittersweet,
Pittenger expects he will always be
working toward the National Aquarium’s
mission. In a final challenge as he
concludes his tenure Pittenger reminds us,
“It’s very important to become actively
involved with those who connect to the
Aquarium on the mission side. The
attraction is our glue, and we are heavily
invested in education. We have the tools
to connect people to conservation, and
we can do more.”
Pittenger’s departure opens a new
chapter for him and for the National
Aquarium. Still, within the National
Aquarium community, his leadership
will be missed. Aquarium board member
and current chair of the National
Aquarium Conservation Center Mike
Batza captures the collective feeling
most succinctly, stating: “He’s a hard
act to follow.”
Horenstein’s work has been displayed
in museums, galleries and public art
installations around the world. But this
is the first time that images from his
collection, Animalia, will be displayed

Responding to Disaster
National Aquarium Experts in Action in the Gulf of Mexico
BY TRACEY LYNN SHIFFLETT, MOLLY SHEEHAN
On April 20, 2010, a fatal explosion
on the offshore drilling rig Deepwater
Horizon damaged the rig’s wellhead,
which began leaking oil into the Gulf of
Mexico. The oil spill rapidly became the
most devastating environmental disaster
in history, as thousands of gallons of oil
per day gushed into coastal waters.
National Aquarium leadership sought
ways to help. With experience caring
for stranded and injured marine animals,
a nascent research group ready to tackle
a pressing environmental issue and years
of proven success improving coastal
habitats around the Chesapeake Bay,
the Aquarium offered hands-on response
and lent scientific expertise to solving
and mitigating damage.
The Association of Zoos and Aquariums
(AZA) partnered with the many government and non-government groups on the
ground at the Gulf and mobilized 220
zoos and aquariums to provide animal
care experts who could help. As one of
its members, the National Aquarium
made room for stranded sea turtles,
offered to transport animals needing
long-term rehabilitation and provided
veterinary support in the Gulf. Aquarium
veterinary technician Christine Steinert
spent up to twelve hours a day, for fifteen
days, as one of those workers. Steinert
administered medications, extracted and
processed blood samples, took radiographs, recorded weights and tended to
mild shell debridements on 143 rescued
sea turtles—a group of animals at
particular risk. Every individual sea
turtle counts toward the protection of
its species. There are only seven living
species of sea turtles globally, and all
are endangered or threatened, at risk
of being wiped out completely.
As the spill continued unchecked,
Aquarium scientist Erik Rifkin, Ph.D.,
interim executive director of the National
Aquarium Conservation Center (NACC),
partnered with Mote Marine Laboratory
8
and Johns Hopkins University and sprang
into action to initiate a comprehensive
study in the Gulf designed to ensure that
the oil spill impact is documented as
rigorously as possible. This research will
enable scientists to demonstrate causality
between the release of oil and injured
resources and lost human use of those
resources and services.
Closer to home, Brent Whitaker,
MS, DVM, the National Aquarium’s
deputy executive director of biological
programs, collaborated with the AZA
and Congressional staff to encourage
legislative movement and organize public
response. As a result of industry input,
in September 2010, the U.S. House of
Representatives considered a legislative
resolution to recognize and utilize zoos
and aquariums as animal experts in
environmental disaster responses.
That resolution was referred to the
House Subcommittee on Insular
Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife, where
it currently remains.
On the Senate side, Dr. Rifkin lent his
valuable scientific insight about the
lessons learned from the 1989 Exxon
Valdez disaster when he testified before
a Senate subcommittee examining the
process of assessing the natural resources
damage in the Gulf.
The Aquarium’s strong connections
to national leadership are the result of
years of conservation work around the
Chesapeake Bay and its watershed. This
connection to coastal action made the
National Aquarium a natural fit to host
a press conference where U.S. Senators
Ben Cardin and Barbara Mikulski and
U.S. Congressman Elijah Cummings
publicly addressed federal, state and local
plans for the oil spill. Explained National
Aquarium Executive Director Dave
Pittenger at the event, “We believe the
stakes are too high not to invest the time
and resources to help.”
Christine Steinert, National Aquarium Veterinary Technician,
Gulf of Mexico
200 million gallons of oil had spilled into
the Gulf. While there is relief that the
gush of oil has been stopped, there is
very little good in this tragic disaster.
But some things give encouragement in
this bleak situation: A strong and vast
network of passionate zoo and aquarium
professionals acted quickly to give

With the help of National Aquarium
dolphins, researchers have confirmed
there is DNA present in dolphin
“blow,” the air that comes from the
blowholes on top of their heads.
LEARNINGFROMMARINEMAMMALS
National Aquarium animal care staff work with the scientific community to support research on aquatic animals. Combining data
obtained from collection animals and wild populations gives conclusive longitudinal studies that help scientists, and the Aquarium,
further advocate for these species.
Dolphin scientist Dr. Diana Reiss continued to work with National Aquarium dolphins in 2010. For the past three years, Aquarium
dolphins have supplemented Reiss’ investigations in marine mammal complex cognition research. Reiss’ research revealed that
dolphins, like humans and a few other species, recognize their own mirror images. Reiss also documented that dolphins make their
own objects for play by creating bubble rings in the water; and is currently working with the Aquarium’s marine biologists to develop
a sophisticated analysis system that will advance scientists' understanding of how dolphins use their whistles in social communication.

In August 2010, National Aquarium vet
technician Christine Steinert was one of
many industry professionals who stepped
up to aid the oil spill relief efforts in the
Gulf of Mexico. She spent fifteen days
administering medications, extracting and
processing blood samples, taking radiographs, recording weights and tending to
mild shell debridements of 143 sea turtles
rescued from contaminated Gulf waters.
The National Aquarium marine animal
rescue team was called on by the New
England Aquarium to help five endangered cold-stunned Kemp’s ridley sea
turtles. In December 2010, the turtles
were flown from Boston to Baltimore,
where they continue to receive care.
The team plans to release them from
a Maryland beach when local waters
become warm enough this year.
Last spring, the second successful puffling
hatched at the National Aquarium.
National Aquarium online social media
followers were invited to give the chick a
proper name. Nearly 1,200 people voted,
choosing “Vinny” to complement the
names of the chick’s parents, Victor and
Vixen. Vinny is thriving and now almost
indistinguishable from the adult puffins
in Baltimore’s Sea Cliffs exhibit.
The Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary
exhibit in DC is getting a facelift. Work
began last year to create a 2,000-gallon
exhibit that will feature historical shipwrecks and highlight the issue of invasive
species in the Great Lakes. Residents
will include a common snapping turtle,
walleye, yellow perch, chain pickerel and
multiple species of sunfish.
Built in 1981, the concrete structures in
and around Baltimore’s Wings in the Water
exhibit are corroding from 30 years of
contact with salt water, and the wear
and tear of 1.4 million visitors each year.
In May 2010, a temporary bottom beam
was added to the 250,000-gallon exhibit’s
steel platform. More than 40 animals live
in this exhibit, including stingrays, sharks
and a green sea turtle.
The National Aquarium Biological
Programs team participated in eleven
research and behavioral studies in 2010,
six of which were published in industry
trade journals. The team also supported
eight university case studies, presented
at 28 industry events all over the country
and received more than a dozen achievement recognitions.

AQUARIUMVOLUNTEERS
Throughout our four buildings in two cities, among the crowd members on the shore as a rehabilitated animal is being released
and alongside team members digging, planting and clearing the Chesapeake Bay watersheds, there are hundreds of people in
recognizeable National Aquarium uniforms. What is not plain to the eye is that many of these helpful and knowledgeable people
are generously volunteering their time to the National Aquarium and its mission to enjoy, respect and protect the aquatic world.
Hundreds of dedicated volunteers work side-by-side with National Aquarium paid staff members each day, and we couldn’t function
without them! They are a diverse team, ranging in age from 14 to 91; there are 18 individuals hailing from the first class of volunteers
trained 30 years ago; and 40 percent of National Aquarium volunteers have donated their time for more than five years.

Aquarium is collecting data from water
samples and using an underwater camera
to monitor the island’s efficacy.
In May 2010, the National Aquarium
unveiled plans for a publiclyaccessible waterfront park on its
property on the Patapsco River.
The Aquarium remediated the
once-contaminated and underused
property so that Baltimore City can
transform it into an asset for the
community and the environment.
Through various internal conservation
efforts, 460 pounds of techno trash,
2,577 pounds of E-cycled material and
550 pounds of batteries were also
diverted from landfills; 31,050 pounds

ITTAKESAVILLAGE
Excellence in animal care is something we never compromise, and sometimes our animals require focused, time-intensive care. Last
year, National Aquarium staff rose to the sudden special challenge of hand-raising an orphaned 8-week old, two-toed sloth. Young
sloths remain dependent on their mothers for food and comfort during their first year of life, so our animal care staff knew the
baby sloth would need extra special care to grow into a successful adult.
After determining the youngster was male, the sloth was named “Xeno,” which derives from the scientific name Xenarthrans, the group
that contains sloths, anteaters and armadillos. Over several months, staff consulted with sloth sanctuaries around the world, and gave
Xeno 24-hour care that included a special diet, daily veterinary checkups and lots of coddling to mimic the natural behavior of baby
sloths physically clinging to their mothers. Xeno is now thriving in Baltimore’s rain forest exhibit with the Aquarium’s three other sloths.

In May 2010, the DC venue debuted the
Buck Island National Park exhibit, which
features a number of endangered Elkhorn
coral colonies. National Aquarium staff
collected the species from Puerto Rico
through an international partnership
program aiming to preserve coral reefs
through coral breeding and reef restoration.
The National Aquarium white-tailed
trogons continued to successfully breed
on exhibit last year, bringing the total
to 19 chicks since 2000. The National
Aquarium was the first aquarium or
zoo in the country to successfully breed
these birds.
Last year, the National Aquarium’s
2-year old dolphin, Bayley, joined her
Mom, Chesapeake, in the Our Ocean
Planet dolphin show. Her favorite behavior
is the high jump. With her small size,
Bayley only jumps about 10 feet out of
the water right now, but as she grows
bigger and stronger, she’ll be able to hit
the buoy almost 20 feet in the air!
The DC venue was booming with new
life in Spring 2010. Four young American
alligators, two baby loggerhead sea turtles
and a 2-year old polka dotted stingray
pup were among the aquatic youngsters
drawing crowds to the nation’s capital.
Early last fall, Baltimore’s Atlantic Coral
Reef exhibit began getting an infusion
of color with new fish species. Fish often
adapt the colors of their environment, so
the new species mimic the bright hues of
coral in yellow, red and pink.
Red lionfish are striking to behold,
with their red and white coloring and
flowing fins, but they are also a danger to
aquatic ecosystems in the Caribbean. In
2010, the National Aquarium continued
its partnership program aimed at controlling and researching this invasive species.
The DC venue held a dining event to
introduce the lionfish as a sustainable
seafood option.

Last winter's weather broke historical
records for the mid-Atlantic area, with
more than 70 total inches of snow. Both
National Aquarium venues were closed
for three days, but the animals still needed
24-hour care. Essential Aquarium staff
stayed at nearby hotels to ensure all the
animals were fed and water systems were
flowing, while security staff offered safe
transportation.
In 2010, Baltimore voters showed their
continued support of the National
Aquarium by approving a $1 million
grant to aid aging infrastructure
renovation projects.
The National Aquarium received a
$480,000 grant last year supporting its
participation in a national coalition of
aquariums educating the public about
climate change. The initiative, which was
awarded by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, is a climate
change communication program with
youth training at its core.
The iconic—but aging—neon blue
wave on the south side of the National
Aquarium’s main Baltimore building went
“green” last summer when it was replaced
with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs),
which use 70 percent less energy.
In 2010, The Maryland General
Assembly granted the National Aquarium
$3.5 million in capital funding to support
improvement projects to the Baltimore
buildings over the next year.
In April 2010, the National Aquarium
advocated for living collections of
marine mammals in U.S. attractions.
Entering written testimony at a U.S.
House of Representatives subcommittee
hearing, the Aquarium explained the
role zoos and aquariums play in effective
education, research and conservation
of marine mammals, and how these
initiatives help protect wild populations.

The Future is Bright Green
2010 Marks Launch of National Aquarium Conservation Center
Though the threats to our planet’s waters
continue, we are at a unique moment of
opportunity to save our oceans. There is
renewed concern about our natural
environment. American and global
publics are focusing on our oceans’
health and the threats against marine
life, and there is increased openness to
conservation, the future of the oceans
and stronger environmental policies.
Against this backdrop, in 2010 the
National Aquarium established the
National Aquarium Conservation
Center. Led by marine scientist Erik
Rifkin, Ph.D., this new entity was
formed to give the Aquarium a larger
platform from which to expand handson conservation work, research and
environmental policy and advocacy.
This is a major step in the Aquarium’s
evolution from a successful attraction
with conservation as a primary message,
to a nationally recognized and respected
conservation organization that measures
success through its positive impacts on
people, the environment and aquatic life.
The Conservation Center immediately
faced its first opportunity to tackle a
pressing environmental research need.
In the wake of the catastrophic Deepwater
Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico,
Dr. Rifkin quickly collaborated with
Mote Marine Laboratory and Johns
Hopkins University to lead a research
study in the Gulf that will provide
concerned government agencies and
others with data necessary to quantify
the chronic damages to natural resources
in the Gulf.
This research involves the deployment of
“virtual fish” that provide data on levels
of petroleum contaminants in the water
and sediment. This data is already
helping scientists assess the long-term
ramifications of the spill, including
potential mortality rates of aquatic life
and lost natural resources.
Under Dr. Rifkin’s leadership, the
Conservation Center has also partnered
on research efforts that will increase
understanding of mercury levels in wild
and captive dolphins, quantify sediment
contamination in Baltimore’s Inner
Harbor and protect spotted eagle rays.
In 2011, the Conservation Center will
hold its first symposium, convening
scientists, policymakers and other
advisors to identify opportunities and
gaps in our understanding of the damage
caused by the Gulf oil spill. The Center
will also be an advocacy voice for work
the Aquarium already has underway,
such as protecting precious coral reef
ecosystems, controlling invasive lionfish
and expanding Chesapeake Bay and
wetland initiatives.
Explained Executive Director Dave
Pittenger at the exciting September
2010 kick-off event, “For 30 years, the
National Aquarium has sought to inspire
people, and, in particular, our next
generation, to celebrate and nurture the
world’s aquatic environments. Through
the establishment of the National
Aquarium Conservation Center, we
reconfirm our commitment and our
promise to leave as our legacy to future
generations a world in which aquatic
habitats are preserved and restored.”
