interesting ocean facts

i went to British Columbia recently to visit family and i spent a day at the Vancouver aquarium in Stanley park... simply amazing!
I INSIST if your in BC that you need to visit....

anyway, there main exhibit is a series (20+ 600 gallon tanks) of the coastal waters just off the shore of British Columbia... were the waters are close to 10 Celsius if not colder all year long.... but the life in these tanks simply amazes me!!!! i had no idea such brilliant and colorful life existed in such cold water.... there where larger and more colorful aneomes and urchins and starfish than i've ever seen in warm water...

i took a few pics, but nothing special... i was thinking maybe we should have a category where people can post pics of public aquariums they've been too etc... I got some cool photos from when I went to a different public aquarium in the netherlands as well...
just a thought

Thats a cool idea.

I have been to the public aquariums in London England, Capetown South Africa, and Dallas Fort Worth.  It could be a good thread gearing up the the Ripleys aquarium opening in Toronto next year.

I will try and go through my pictures tonight and post some of the good ones.

Nice Brandon. I have some I think still from Halifax in the marine biology part of the university. If I can find them it would be neat as then we would have both costs
