EASIER TO JUST DO IT ONLINE
LIKE 5 MINUTES ALL RIGHT,
THANKS KEN.
ALL RIGHT THE OREGON COAST
AQUARIUM IN NEWPORT IS BACK
OPEN TODAY IT IS BUT OF COURSE
AS WE HAVE SEEN AT MANY OTHER
IT IS GOING TO BE THE SAME
CASE HERE THERE WILL BE SOME
CHANGES IF YOU GO TO VISIT.
JOINING US LIVE TO GO OVER
SOME OF THOSE CHANGES JULIE
WOODWARD, THE DIRECTOR OF
MARKETING FOR THE OREGON COAST
AQUARIUM JULIE GOOD MORNING.
GOOD MORNING. HOW ARE YOU
ELGOOD I'M I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE
STUFF THAT PEOPLE CAN NOW GO
OUT AND DO ON THE COAST HERE
AT THE AQUARIUM, I KNOW ONE OF
THE BIG CHANGES PEOPLE NEED TO
KNOW.
ESPECIALLY TODAY YOU HAVE
TO BUY A TICKET BEFORE YOU
SHOW UP NOW SO LET'S TALK
ABOUT HOW THAT WORKS AND HOW
MANY PEOPLE HOW MANY TICKETS
ARE YOU GOING TO BE SELLING IN
A DAY.
OKAY WELL YES YOU GO ONLINE
AT WWW DOT OR TO BUY YOUR
TICKETS UNLESS YOU'RE A MEMBER
AND ANYTHING CALL THE NUMBER.
THAT'S LISTED TO BROUGHT
DIRECTLY WITH ONE OF OUR
ADMISSIONS VOTES.
WE HAVE OR 10 OR OUR TOURS
HOUR SO EVERY 15 MINUTES, A
DIFFERENT TOUR BEGINS AND
THERE'S 5 DIFFERENT EXHIBITS
THAT THEY GO TO. OUTDOOR ONLY
AS YOU MENTIONED, SO WE'RE
EXPECTING APPROXIMATELY GIVE
OR TAKE 240 PEOPLE A DAY RIGHT
AROUND THERE.
HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO
THE CROWD SIZE YOU COULD
ACCOMMODATE PREVIOUSLY.
TO DEFINITELY A MALL OR YET
MUCH MORE SMALLER MORE
CLEARING EXPERIENCE FOR PEOPLE
NOW.
RIGHT BECAUSE LINCOLN
COUNTY WAS WE'RE STILL IN
PHASE ONE AND WE WERE ON THE
WATCH LIST, BUT.
WE WERE DROPPED ON THE
WATCH LIST WE WERE PUT IN A
DIFFERENT CATEGORY SO WE ARE
ALLOWED TO OPEN OUTDOOR ONLY
DONE SO. IN KING COUNTY NEW
SPACESHIP, OK AND SO THEN
YOU'VE GOT THOSE CHANGES AND
IN YOU KNOW WHAT ARE SOME
OTHER CHANGES THAT GUESTS CAN
EXPECT AS YOU.
TRY TO KEEP EVERYONE
HEALTHY AND SAFE WHERE THEY'RE
GOING TO BE TEMPERATURE CHECKS
WHEN YOU GET THEIR HOUSE AT
ALL GOING TO WORK.
WE'RE ACTING TEMPERATURE
CHECKS, HOWEVER, UP. HER THE
STATE'S EVERYONE NEEDS TO WEAR
A MASK. WE SHIELDS FOR THOSE
PEOPLE WHO I'M VERY CONCERNED
AND CHILDREN UNDER 5 PER THAT
STATE GUIDELINES DON'T NEED TO
WEAR A FACE MASK. SO THAT'LL
BE DIFFERENT. IT WILL BE A
ONE-WAY PATH. OF COURSE THE
GRANTS ARE SMALL AND
EVERYTHING HAS STAGGERED AND
LIKE EVERY OTHER ORGANIZATION,
YOU KNOW WE'RE DOING A LOT
CLEANING AND SANITIZING
STATIONS AND THOSE TYPES OF
THINGS.
AND I THINK THE.
THE OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE IS
GOING TO FEEL DIFFERENT FOR
SOME PEOPLE, BUT AGAIN A GOOD
WAY TO KEEP IT ALL A HEALTHY
THERE. I HAVE A QUESTION FOR
YOU KNOW THIS MIGHT BE A
LITTLE I AM JUST CURIOUS. THE
ANIMALS HAVE THEY BEEN
DIFFERENT AT ALL OVER THE LAST
FEW MONTHS THAT PEOPLE HAVEN'T
BEEN THERE HAVE YOU NOTICED
ANY DIFFERENCE IN WITHOUT AS
MANY VISITORS.
YEAH, ESPECIALLY THE MARINE
MAMMALS I THINK THEY REALLY
ENJOYED HUMAN INTERACTION AND
SO WHEN WE COME OUT. SO THE
MAMMAL EXHIBIT TO LAST SO AS
YOU CAN SEE IN THE BACKGROUND,
BRIGHT RED SEA OTTERS AND
THEY'RE KIND OF SWIMMING
BEHIND US. WHAT WE HAVE HERE.
THEY'RE USUALLY WANT TO BE
NEAR AS SO THEY I THINK THEY
DEFINITELY MISS A HUMAN
INTERACTION, BUT WE HAVE BEEN
WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO A LOT
A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS WITH
THEM AND KIND OF MIX UP THEIR
SCHEDULES. WE DO ENRICHMENT
WHICH PUTTING AND PUTTING SOME
OF THEIR SEATS TASTY ITEMS AND
ICE AND THEY WORK IT. YOU KNOW
WORK THROUGH TO GET IT
DIFFERENT KINDS OF GAMES.
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS AND MIX
IT UP FOR THEM SO THEY IT
HASN'T BEEN KIND OF THAT NO
TYPICAL SCHEDULE ALL.
YEAH, YOU GOT TO WONDER IF
THEY'LL NOTICE ALL THE MASKS
TO A COVERING THEIR FACES
EXACTLY ALL RIGHT WELL, THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
CHILLY THIS MORNING LOOKS LIKE
