Birch Aquarium Meets its Match

Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC
San Diego, has been awarded a challenge grant of $750,000
from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation to support its
multifaceted climate change exhibit and educational program,
Feeling the Heat: The Climate Challenge. The first
installment of the matching grant, to be paid over two
years, has already been received and the heat is on for the
aquarium to raise the remaining $375,000 to realize the
total grant. Once raised, funds from the challenge will pay
for the $1.5-million exhibit and its effort to communicate
the issues surrounding global climate.
