TRAVELING EXHIBIT HOSTS
![](../template_graphics/sub/sub_bar.gif)
Our Reef on the Road traveling exhibit premiered at the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Conference in September 2014.
From there it began it's journey to a variety of destinations that have become our partners in introducing the sanctuary and ocean conservation messages to new audiences.
We are currently looking for host sites for April 2020 and beyond.
