There's more helping hands at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks this week, thanks to one local organization.

The volunteers of Operation Aware will spend the next few days at the aquarium, taking pledges and working to help get the huge coral reef exhibit built. KRMG's Rick Couri says it's all about education. "It's called conservation through education. They only way you ever protect something is if you understand it. That's what this is all about, understanding and protecting what's in the environment."

The Oklahoma Aquarium is scheduled to open late this summer.
