For our first Earth Day special on The Podcast Aquatic, we’re focusing in on the important work being done by the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute (TNACI), not only to raise freshwater fish but also freshwater scientists.

As a nexus for a great deal of conservation science in the Southeast, TNACI is carrying forward long-term species restoration efforts while also attracting new generations of researchers who will carry on this work in years to come.

Learn more about the work of TNACI at https://tnaqua.org/conserve/what-we-do/
