You might have heard about the water theme park, the oceanarium and the reef swim. But who is working behind-the-scenes to fulfill the conservation mission of the Marine Life Park? Meet Felicia Wee, a conservationist at MLP with a strong passion for marine life. We talk to her to find out what it takes to be part of the team.

When you think of an aquarist, what do you first think of? Probably a person who handles fish, cleans tanks, and maintains the life support system. Right about now you’d probably dredge up the mental image of a fish enthusiast whose pride is his aquatic fish display at home.

But being an aquarist is more than just that. It requires hard work, passion for the animals you work with, and an itch to dive in with objects of your fascination- from stingrays to angelfish to sharks. We talk to Akira, an aquarist with the Marine Life Park, to get the low-down on what it takes to be one.
