National Aquarium in Baltimore
2007 Annual Report
green everywhere
2
Dear Friends,
In 2007, all the talk was about “being green,” from recycling programs, to environmentally friendly green
cleaning products, to carbon footprints and hybrid vehicles. It has been a remarkable year: most of us
have gained a better understanding of the fragility of this planet and about how our day-to-day activities
impact its well being. Increasingly, conserving and protecting our natural resources frames everyday
choices at the Aquarium. Simply stated it has been central to our mission since we opened in 1981.
The Aquarium has the unique opportunity to demonstrate actions large and small that can lessen the
impact humans have on our environment. To that end, being “green” is becoming an integral part
of every workday. We continually strive to improve our own practices and embrace multiple recycling
efforts, including composting kitchen waste, printing on recycled paper, and taking other steps to make
the thoughtful choices that mitigate our environmental impact.
Through our true-to-nature exhibits, school outreach projects, and wetland restoration, we demonstrate
ways our visitors and community can become involved. For our staff, we’ve introduced rewards for
green commuting, launched an internal conservation committee to recommend best practices, and
increased back office recycling programs. Our organization has recommitted to inspiring people to
enjoy, respect, and protect our aquatic world.
As you turn these pages, I hope you consider the thoughtful choices you too can make to lessen your
impact on our fragile Earth. Recycle. Be mindful of using excess lawn chemicals that can wash into local
waters. Consider taking one less drive each week. And get started by planting this report’s handmade
envelope in your own backyard. Embedded with wildflower seeds, your envelope has the potential to
bloom beautifully and grow into a habitat and food source for local species, like butterflies.
We are grateful to you – our friends and partners – for your support, and excited to be green with you in
future years.
Thank you.

conserving resources
Choosing recycled paper and, in turn, recycling it gives a second
life to a product we use daily. The Aquarium uses high-quality,
recycled paper in offices, brochures, handouts, maps, mailings,
Watermarks magazine, and the Annual Report you hold in your
hands (its accompanying envelope is made of non-wood fiber
paper). Even plates and napkins in the Aquarium cafes are made of
recycled material. According to calculations from the Environmental
Defense Fund, by choosing recycled paper, the Aquarium saved
more than 150 trees, millions of BTUs of energy, and more than
70,000 gallons of water last year.
The Aquarium also recycles used paper. Since joining Abitibi’s
Paper Retriever program last May, more than 8,000 pounds have
been recycled. That 4-plus tons of paper translates into more than
17,000 kilowatt-hours of energy and 26 cubic yards of landfill saved.
TIP
You can save trees and
reduce landfill waste
in meaningful ways by
choosing products with
minimal packaging, using
cloth napkins instead of
paper, and paying your
bills electronically.

Aquarium staff are encouraged to do their part to help
save our planet. Each year, every Aquarium employee
gets a paid Conservation Day to join a conservation
activity like the Fort McHenry wetland cleanup. Staffers
also help support a number of other conservation
efforts, including Earth Day, Baltimore Green Week, and
International Migratory Bird Month. And every month, the
Aquarium recognizes and rewards three staff members
who embody its conservation ethos and conserve natural
resources by walking, biking, carpooling, or taking mass
transit to work.

TIP
Pitch in on a river or
park cleanup in your
area. You’ll be doing
good things for the
planet and having fun
at the same time!

reducing strain on the environment
Save electricity, save energy – save the planet. With all
the heaters, chillers, pumps, lights, and climate controls
in the Aquarium’s multiple buildings, energy consumption
can add up. So wherever possible, we install powersaving lights and bulbs. Energy-thirsty incandescent
bulbs in the Aquarium’s office areas are being replaced
by energy-stingy compact fluorescent lighting. In areas
that aren’t used often, the Aquarium has installed motion
sensors that turn off lights automatically when they’re not
needed. And once lighting materials have outlived their
usefulness, the Aquarium has them recycled or destroyed
rather than dumped in a landfill.
TIP
Turning off lights
when you leave the
room helps both the
environment and your
wallet. Consider ceiling
fans – they are cheaper
to run than turning down
the thermostat. And
shade trees cool a house
while turning carbon
dioxide into oxygen and
beautifying the yard.

TIP
Look for groups that
could benefit from
your gently-used
equipment. Donate
used cell phones to
the Aquarium’s
Conservation team
– through an arrangement
with Sprint, the Aquarium
is rewarded for each
reclaimed cell phone.
14
green technology
The lifespan of computer equipment can be short. To
lessen the environmental impact of these vital business tools,
the Aquarium’s Information Technology Department regularly
recycles computer equipment and peripherals. Outdated
computers, printers, and other equipment are donated to
CDM eCycling, which refurbishes any reusable equipment,
and then donates it through its Second Life program to
charities and other nonprofit organizations that otherwise
could not afford this technology. And when CDs, DVDs, and
floppy disks used to record, store, and share information wear
out, the Aquarium works with a company called GreenDisk
to recycle this “technotrash” instead of clogging landfills and
contaminating soil and ground water with harmful chemicals.
reclaiming & creating habitat
TIP
Americans produce an
average of 4.5 pounds
of trash every day. You
can lower your own
average by reusing what
you can – bring water
in a reusable container
rather than buying
plastic bottles, and skip
the store’s plastic bags
and sport a reusable
Aquarium shopping bag.
18
green everyday
Every effort counts when it comes to going green.
It’s the plates and napkins in the Aquarium cafes that are
made of recycled material and are both biodegradable
and compostable. It’s the green roof, which is home
to a variety of plant life, installed on the new Aquarium
building. It’s the new green line of products offered in the
Aquarium’s shops. It’s the Cafe’s composting program.
It’s the bike racks installed on Pier 3 to encourage people
to pedal to the Aquarium. And, above all, it’s through
everyday thoughtful choices that Aquarium staff and
volunteers preserve and protect our planet.
2007
recap
Chesapeake Bay Initiative: 2007 marked the 10th anniversary of the ambitious Chesapeake Bay
Initiative. Using seven wetland restoration projects as living classrooms, the Aquarium has deployed
dozens of volunteers from communities around the Bay to restore wetlands, shore up eroding coastline,
rebuild habitats for migratory birds, and engage students in conservation. In 2007 alone, volunteers and
staff stabilized an acre of coastal dune, planted 34,000 units of wetland grass, removed 45,574 pieces of
debris from an urban wetland, installed more than 800 native shrubs and plants, and engaged students
from 15 schools in educational activities and field trips.
A FAMILY’S GIFT: Young Chad Muehlhauser was entranced by the Aquarium. To honor his memory,
in 2007 Chad’s family created The Chad William Muehlhauser Education Fund, in the hope that
supporting the Aquarium’s education programs will allow children to experience the same excitement
and connection with the aquatic world that had so delighted Chad. As the owners of the popular Rams
Head Live!, the Muehlhausers earmarked 10 cents from each ticket sold at Rams Head Live!, Rams Head
Annapolis, and Pier Six Pavilion over the next five years toward the fund – in all, a pledge of $50,000. To
augment this contribution, ticket purchasers are given the opportunity to donate to the fund through the
Rams Head web site. The Aquarium is deeply grateful to the Muehlhauser family for their generosity and
support, and look forward to continuing school outreach programs in Chad’s memory.
4-D THEATER OPENING: In 2007, the Lyn P. Meyerhoff Auditorium was transformed into an
exhilarating 4-D Immersion Theater that introduced the high definition drama of a 3-D film and special
sensory effects that virtually transport viewers into the action. Aquatic-themed films such as BBC’s
Planet Earth give visitors an exciting, multi-dimensional way to connect to our underwater world.
TECHNOLOGY TOOLS: Aqua.org introduced an exciting new planning function and more online
ticketing options. Unveiled in May, the new Online Trip Planner allows visitors to learn about the
programs and events happening on the day they plan to visit, and to print a customized itinerary to
guide their journey here. Visitors can purchase tickets electronically and be ready to visit. Since its
debut, more than 35,500 individual trips have been planned this way. Visit aqua.org to plan your next
trip online!
FOSTER CARE IN MARINE ANIMALS: On September 9, the Aquarium welcomed the newest addition
to the dolphin colony – a male Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. While every birth is special, this calf also had
the unusual benefit of being cared for attentively by three lactating females. Named “Foster” because of
these special relationships, the calf appears to be thriving and independent, is learning to interact with
trainers and toys, and is beginning to enjoy fish – important skills for a young dolphin. Aquarium marine
mammal trainers are encouraged by the calf’s robust health, and visitors are delighted by him. Dolphins
are important to supporting the Aquarium’s mission – we believe that when visitors are drawn in by these
charismatic animals, it becomes important to them to protect dolphins’ natural habitat.
VOLUNTEERS – THE FUEL IN OUR ENGINE: Aquarium volunteers come from all walks of life and
with varied backgrounds and experiences that all contribute to the excitement and high energy of a
visit to the Aquarium. This year our nearly 600 active volunteers lent their skills to assist as exhibit guides,
herpetology and aviculture assistants and divers, and in areas as diverse as horticulture and animal
rescue. Their more than 113,000 hours of volunteerism in 2007 brought immeasurable benefit
to the Aquarium.
MAYOR’s BUSINESS RECOGNITION AWARD: In December 2007, the National Aquarium in Baltimore
was awarded the Mayor’s Business Recognition Award honoring businesses that demonstrated
significant corporate leadership and service for a better Baltimore and that committed their resources to
improving the quality of life in Baltimore City. The Conservation Department at the National Aquarium
was recognized for taking a leadership role in restoring a 10-acre tidal wetland bordering Baltimore
City’s Fort McHenry and for its work to enhance the environment, restore wetlands, and develop a new
generation of environmental stewards.
TERRAPIN LOBBY: Two of the Aquarium’s diamondback terrapins appeared before the Maryland
State Legislature in support of a bill to ban the commercial harvest of diamondback terrapins from the
Chesapeake Bay. Along with several Aquarium staff members, the two helped the historic bill become
law in April of 2007. The law marks the first year since the 1820s that diamondback terrapins will not be
taken from the Bay to feed commercial food market demand.
2007
recap
CAPTIVE BREEDING OF AUSTRALIAN FRESHWATER TURTLES: In 2007, two turtles of a newly
described species of Australian turtle, the Kimberly longneck (Macrochelodina walloyarrina) hatched in
Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extremes. The adults were collected in 2004 by a team that included Jack
Cover and John Seyjagat but were only recently determined by Australian scientists to represent a new
species. Our turtles are the only representatives of this species held outside of Australia.
MARP ON THE JOB: With 24 rescues and dozens of outreach programs that promote ocean health,
the Marine Animal Rescue Program stayed busy in 2007. One favorite patient was “Cookie,” a gray seal
pup found stranded in Ocean City, Maryland in February. Before release, she was fitted with a satellite
tag provided by the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation, which transmitted
information about her travels. Cookie’s return to the ocean was followed enthusiastically by visitors to
aqua.org, where for six months the Aquarium tracked her movements and allowed web visitors to view
the 6,147 miles she traveled. Stories like Cookie’s help the Aquarium forge emotional connections with
people and highlight the living, breathing reasons to preserve our aquatic world.
A PARTNER FOR AQUAPARTNERS: Thanks to a generous grant of $464,381 from Toyota USA
Foundation – the largest in its history – the Aquarium can continue its long partnership with the
Baltimore City Public School System and offer the AquaPartners program. Through AquaPartners, more
than 1,500 Baltimore City 4th and 5th grade students and their teachers engage in hands-on science
programs at their schools, enjoy field trips to the Aquarium, and venture to the Bay to put into action
what they’ve learned. This kind of support is critical to providing up-close, educational experiences that
raise interest in the sciences and encourage stewardship of the Chesapeake Bay.
BIRD BIRTHS IN THE RAIN FOREST: The Aquarium continues to lead the flock with bird breeding in
the Upland Tropical Rain Forest. As the nation’s leading facility in reproducing the white-tailed trogon,
the Aquarium has provided nine chicks to other institutions since the original pair arrived in 1997. Aided
by a camera in the nest box, staff observed egg laying and chick-rearing behaviors, and three chicks
fledged successfully in 2007. This year the Rain Forest also became home to the country’s first captiveborn green and gold tanager, and the chick was hand reared by Rain Forest aviculturists.
