Description

The Florida Aquarium's exhibits are laid out to show the journey of a drop of water from one of Florida's many fresh-water springs out to the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Exhibits include a large simulated wetlands exhibit located under a tall glass atrium, a simulated beach, and a coral reef community housed in a 500,000 gallon tank. Its mission is to "entertain, education and inspire stewardship of the natural environment." The newest section is Ocean Commotion, which replaced the Sea Hunt section.
