The ROM's Department of Natural History is offering 3-day workshops that will cover the broad array of families and provide an opportunity to develop specialized knowledge of a group of interest. In addition, we are offering a 2-day workshop on fish species at risk in Ontario. These workshops are designed primarily for professionals -- technicians, field biologists, and environmental consultants -- but other interested individuals are welcome. For information, please refer to the Workshop Information document (PDF).

The ROM’s own curator Dr. Claire Healy has discovered whole orders of ocean animals, and continues to break new ground (or water) every day.
