parasites, as well as water quality parameters to reflect daily, weekly or
monthly records.

maintains a stringent schedule of the above-mentioned responsibilities with all
members of the Habitat staff. The Curator also directs ongoing educational
programs on the property. This includes conducting group tours of six or more.
He/she is also responsible for cost control and ordering of all supplies
