Coming to Duluth as a kid, this was one of our our places that we came.

And all those memories are so important.

You know, you know, those are the kinds of memories that stay with you.

And again, we think of 25 years I saw, from our time capsule.

There was a young lady, was 12 years old that signed her name.

And she came back today.

And, you know, with her children like that, those are the kinds of things that I want to see.

I want them to have a better understanding of the natural world.

I want to have them have a good family experience, thinking about that time together is so important because not only are we trying to, keep those emotional connections about, the wildlife and, our natural world, but also just as normal connections with friends and family.

This coming spring, we're partnering with, Minnesota DNR and the, Fond du Lac Band of Lake Chippewa to raise sturgeon for them to stock in the Saint Louis River.

So we're going to raise juvenile sturgeon here at the aquarium for their stocking, their programs.

And so those animals that we're stocking, will not, produce till another 25 years from now and then subsequent years.

So that's, that's a really exciting prospect is that we're helping bring out an amazing species back.

And I think also very much excited about where we're going to.

I think the next 25 years is is going to be it's going to be amazing.
