Thirty years ago, Birch Aquarium at Scripps opened their doors and hearts to San Diego's sea life. In this Zevely Zone, I met two associate curators who have welcomed every seahorse, fish and penguin. September 16 marks the 30th anniversary of Birch Aquarium at Scripps. After three decades on "top of the hill" in La Jolla, Birch Aquarium has established itself as an integral part of the San Diego experience. I sat down with Associate Curators Leslee Matsushige and Fernando Nosratpour who are also celebrating 30 years of service. "These animals depend on us for their life," said Leslee with tears in her eyes. "You know it's been a great run for me. I have really enjoyed being here and I am so happy that I have been here for this long."
