Public aquariums are more than just tourist attractions – they are vital education centers and conservation champions for our world’s oceans. Through thoughtfully curated exhibits and interactive experiences, aquariums inspire awe and curiosity about marine life while teaching visitors about the importance of protecting aquatic ecosystems. From the dazzling coral reefs to the mysterious creatures of the deep sea, these incredible living museums transport you into the underwater realm mere footsteps from the surface world.
Beyond being gateways to witness nature’s curiosities, aquariums also facilitate critical research to further our understanding of marine species and their behaviors. The data collected guides conservation initiatives worldwide. Many also double as rescue and rehabilitation facilities, providing a forever home for injured wildlife unable to be released back into the wild. By visiting public aquariums, you directly support this important work while gaining an enriching experience perfect for families and aquatic enthusiasts alike. So dive in and get immersed – an unforgettable oceanic adventure awaits!
We explore the natural history of your region to develop a scientific concept that creates a theme to connect your displays and exhibits locally, regionally, and globally.
Our conceptual framework goes beyond passively educating visitors. We work to create an immersive journey that allows them to become involved and vital conservation stakeholders.
During the conceptual phase, we will begin to turn the ideas into images. From initial sketches though finished renderings, we can produce enticing visuals that will generate interest and excitement from partners, stakeholders, and investors.
In addition, our volumes, schematics, and renderings are important tools to help your architecture and engineering teams bring the public aquarium vision to life. Ensuring safety, longevity, and synergy of the structures is critical in the success of your public aquarium.
Arguably the most important element in designing any aquarium, whether it is a 10 gallon desktop aquarium or a public aquarium with millions of gallons of diverse habitat displays, is the life support system. Maintaining the health and vitality of the organisms under your care, as well as the visual condition of the exhibits is non-negotiable.
We have decades of experience using every type of component, mechanism, and technology imaginable for achieving that goal. Our experience, along with our ecological understanding, has allowed us to innovate and push far beyond the conventional systems and into a realm where achieving a net-zero public aquarium is within sight.
Public aquarium curation refers to the process of selecting, acquiring, maintaining, and displaying various aquatic species and habitats in public aquariums or oceanariums for educational and recreational purposes.
Public aquarium curation requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining expertise in marine biology, animal behavior, exhibit design, and public engagement to create immersive and educational experiences for visitors while prioritizing animal welfare and conservation efforts.
