Another photo assignment on Friday to cover Hurricane Sandy rebuilding efforts at the New York Aquarium NYA showed me that we still have spirit, but a there is still a long way to go for both the facility and the staff.

Some areas are progressing with rebuilding under generator power.

Even though the NYA remains closed, keepers and trainers are working hard to keep the marine mammals and other animals on schedule with regular feedings and enrichment (toys and other items that stimulate behavior.) It is an amazing feat considering some of them lost everything in the storm.
