Video of the Week: Okinawa's Mesmerizing 2-Million-Gallon Aquarium
By CORAL Editors - Posted on 27 May 2011
Whale Sharks and Manta Rays are the stars of the staggeringly large main exhibit at the Okinawa Aquarium in Japan. It is called the Kuroshio Sea and holds 1,981,000 US gallons (7.5 million L) of saltwater constantly replenished with fresh seawater pumped in from a point 1,150 feet (350 m) offshore. It was the world's largest aquarium until the Georgia Aquarium opened in Atlanta. Video by Jon Rawlinson, music ("Please Don't Go") by Barcelona.
