What's New at the
Estuarium?
|
 |
| |
The
Pavilion on the Living Marsh Boardwalk |
|
Or maybe we should ask,
“What’s newly restored?” The Living Marsh Boardwalk, having
been destroyed by Hurricane Ivan, is having its finishing
touches placed and will be open to the public in early
March. Refurbishment will continue as we replace the Fish
Plaques that were swept out to sea by the storms of 2005.

The Estuarium’s largest tank,
the Gulf of Mexico tank, is also getting a facelift, with
new paint, polished acrylic and new displays, including a
joystick-controlled Remote Operated Vehicle which will allow
visitors a glimpse at how deep sea research is conducted.
Work is expected to finish by Discovery Day, April 1.
