9627216新英格兰水族馆钱德勒将开发一个巡回展览和相关项目，重点关注维多利亚湖(东非)和北美渔业面临的平行科学和环境问题。NEAQ正在与肯尼亚国家博物馆(NMK)合作。该项目的成果来自国家科学基金会支持关于维多利亚湖生物多样性危机的研究和一个有70名科学家、政策制定者和资源管理人员参加的研讨会。5000平方英尺英国《金融时报》将制作名为“维多利亚湖：木卡萨的眼泪”的展览，以六个单元介绍维多利亚湖和北美渔业问题，包括：过去和现在的生物多样性；改变生活方式；维多利亚湖时间表；渔业技术；全球市场；以及面向未来。补充教育计划将包括现场口译、K-12班级特别计划、教师工作坊和课程材料、特别活动。展览将于1998年在NEAQ开幕，并将于1999年开始全国巡演。展览的第二个版本(将另行资助)将在肯尼亚展出。

9627216 Chandler The New England Aquarium (NEAq) will develop a traveling exhibit and associated programs to focus on parallel scientific and environmental issues facing Lake Victoria (East Africa) and North American fisheries. The NEAq is working in partnership with the national Museums of Kenya (NMK). This project results from NSF supported research on Lake Victoria biodiversity crises and a workshop that involved 70 scientists, policymakers, and resource managers. A 5,000 sq. ft. exhibit "Lake Victoria: Mukasa's Tear" will be developed that will present both the Lake Victoria and North American fisheries issues in six modules including: Biodiversity Then and Now; Changing Life Styles; Lake Victoria Timelines; Fisheries Technology; Global Markets; and Towards the Future. Complementary educational programs will include on-site interpretation, special programs for K-12 classes, teacher workshops and curriculum materials, special events. The exhibit will open at NEAq in 1998 and will begin its national tour in 1999. A second version of the exhibit (which will be funded separately), will be shown in Kenya.
