The Florida
Aquarium
In Collaboration with Sea Studios
The Florida's Living Reefs and Build A Reef interactive
stations at the Florida Aquarium in Tampa allows visitors to take a simulated
snorkel or dive through a coral reef, and to "build" a reef in order to learn
about the marine communities.
The Florida's Living Reefs program allows viewers to snorkel and dive
through a coral reef system giving them an opportunity to appreciate the particular
characteristics associated with marine species that inhabit the shallow and
deep coral reef structures. In the Build a Reef interactive program
visitors have an opportunity to "build" and maintain a healthy coral reef by
placing five factors (water temperature, substrate, light, water quality and
species) into a schematic diagram based on the exhibit across from the station.
