The Clearwater Marine Aquarium expansion will allow us to rescue and release more marine life, create an enhanced living habitat for our resident non-releasable animals and provide more space for our guests.
LARGER HABITATS
Tripling our Rescued Dolphin Habitat Space
Consisting of 5 connecting areas, with approximately 1.5 million gallons of water, nearly triple the current amount. This enhanced, more natural habitat will be home to non-releasable dolphins Winter, Hope and Nicholas.
MORE SPACE
New Hospital Facilities and Expanded Education Areas
Total new guest space of 103,000 sq feet, and more hospital facilities for our rescued marine life.
ENHANCED EDUCATION
Compelling, Educational Experiences for Families
Educating the next generation on marine and environmental conservation. Expanding research into saving the lives of more marine animals and protecting our environment. And meeting the needs of the tens of thousands of children and wounded soldiers who have bonded with Winter and our other rescued animals through their own adversity
