Find out more about CSM at The Chicago Scuba Meetup Group and this event here.

Don't miss this event with Michelle Sattler. Find out how all those fish ended up at the Shedd!

Michelle is the Aquarium Collections Manager for Waters of the World Gallery and is also the Aquarist in charge of the Caribbean Reef Exhibit

This is your chance to learn first hand how fish in the Caribbean Reef exhibit go from the ocean to the exhibit. You will learn about collection planning, collecting on scuba, transporting to the aquarium, quarantine and acclimation to the exhibit. This will be a unique first hand look on the inner workings of one of the premier aquariums in the United States, if not the world.

Michelle has worked for 13 years at the Shedd Aquarium. She has also worked at Sea Life Park Hawaii and the Mystic Marine Life Aquarium in Connecticut.

She has been on Three Shedd Aquarium Collecting trips aboard the Coral Reef Two, an 80 foot Research/Collecting vessel stationed in Miami Florida.

As usual, we will be meeting in the basement at Lalo's. Meet and Greet starts at 7:00 when you can order food and drink, meeting at 7:30 and the presentation will start at 8:00.

Hope to see you all there!
