A Baltimore native, Marjorie Lynn Bank was an award-winning underwater photographer, avid conservationist, and good friend to the National Aquarium.
Marjorie used her photography and her extensive knowledge of marine biology to spread environmental awareness and to promote conservation of the aquatic world. She lectured extensively, and was in demand as a featured speaker.
After her death in 1994, the Aquarium established this lecture series as a tribute to Bank's legacy of conservation and respect for aquatic life. This lecture series features scientists, photographers, conservationists, activists, and researchers who are preeminent in their fields.
