Georgia Aquarium first opened its doors in 2005, with the vision of encouraging both education and economic growth. It’s the largest aquarium in the Northern Hemisphere, holding almost 12 million US gallons of recycled water.
Georgia Aquarium has seven major galleries with notable specimens including Beluga whales, California sea lions, manta rays, and tiger sharks, but its main asset is the 6.3 million US gallons whale shark exhibit. The majority of these animals came from other aquariums, zoos, and fish farms or were rescued from endangered living conditions.
Receiving around 2.5 million visitors in 2018, Georgia Aquarium is not only a big entertaining attraction but a major promotor of ocean conservation efforts and animal care. By combining field research with the study of on-site animals in a controlled environment, the Aquarium is contributing to the understanding of the underwater world and applying new discoveries to the conservation of marine life.
