After a week-long training session, the Aquarium Naturalist intern's main duties will be educating visitors to the aquarium on the different marine life. Specifically, you will share what you have learned in training about the coral reef fish exhibits, seal exhibits, jellyfish, and others.

One of the more popular topics for visitors is the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. You will have the opportunity to discuss the behavioral patterns of these gentle creatures and their nesting habits in the area. You will help visitors see beyond the surface to fully appreciate these magnificent turtles in their true splendor.

Reef Fish Identification: Hawaii’s reef fishes are celebrated worldwide for their high degree of endemism. With several species unique wholly to Hawaiian waters, this is your chance to share with visitors some of the evolutionary principles that make these Pacific waters truly Hawaiian. In addition, you will be able to share some of the mutually beneficial relationships enjoyed by cleaner wrasses and the several species of hosts they glean.
