There are two new opportunities for visitors to experience Pacific seascapes with the renovation of an exhibit bay on the Aquarium's first level. One exhibit presents the Sea of Cortez coral environment.

Aquarium explorers visited this environment during an expedition in 2008. Their updates from the field reveal how closely this exhibit replicates the actual habitat.

Next to this bright tank, visitors can explore a Deep Pacific coral environment. The video below shows the contrast between these two fascinating vistas.
