VIDEO: The New England Aquarium Welcomes First Nurse Shark in 10 Years

Hey Cirri! The New England Aquarium in Boston announced earlier this month that a young female nurse shark had arrived at its Caribbean coral reef exhibit. It’s been 10 years since the aquarium had one on-site, and the staff has named her Cirri. The species is listed as “vulnerable” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species due to habitat loss, overfishing, pollution, and the climate crisis.
