We plan exhibits on the uses of water in the human body, and a review of diseases that are transmitted through water. We expect to involve industries and organizations that use water to help produce exhibits on purification, conservation, and the recreational uses of water. They will contribute to explaining how to preserve America's unique water wonders. In the process, we expect to upgrade the exhibits along Beaver Valley making them better, more exciting, and at the same time fixing maintenance problems. Of course we need exciting animals doing interesting things to further our educational programs.
Aquatic animals are particularly good for stimulation.
Capturing attention, and stimulating curiosity, is the important first step in expanding biological knowledge. Unfortunately adding to our animal collection is impossible if we can't expand our animal care staff. At this stage we will need to make existing exhibits more stimulating and, wherever possible, easier to run. Then, we, at every stage, must make provision for the future expansion of the range of living exhibits. We expect to be able to accomplish this when our present downsized animal care staff can finally be expanded.
