RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION AT GEORGIA AQUARIUM Georgia Aquarium’s deep commitment to marine life is manifested in its impactful research and conservation program. As a leading facility for aquatic animal conservation and research, Georgia Aquarium is uniquely positioned to be a global resource for scientific research and education that explores the vital connection between ocean and human health. A Growing Leader in Aquatic Conservation and Research Georgia Aquarium contributes to the advancement of scientific knowledge of aquatic species and habitats by combining the study of animals in the Aquarium collection with field research. Approximately 90% of current research and conservation funding is directed toward research projects for which an Aquarium staff member is the principal investigator. Since opening, members of the Aquarium’s research team have served as authors on more than 130 peer-reviewed publications and conference appearances, an impressive amount for a research department of this size. 
Georgia Aquarium strategically focuses on research activities, ensuring synergy between various projects. Research and conservation activities are built around the galleries: Georgia-Pacific Cold Water Quest, Ocean Voyager Built by Home Depot, Southern Company River Scout and Tropical Diver Presented by Southwest Airlines. This arrangement provides a natural way to organize and prioritize the scope of research and conservation activities so they remain relevant to Georgia Aquarium’s collection.
