I'm one that agrees that tickets are a little pricey. I wish there were discount days for people that cant afford to go. Its something to think about.

Definitely pricey! I wish I could go to the aquarium more often, but there is no way I can afford it - I am out of work on disability.

I'm saddened to see that there are people that still don't believe that we are permanently affecting our environment through massive industrialization of the world. Many people forget that humans are a species, too. We are NOT immune to the damage we're causing on Earth. 99% of scientists agree that we are causing these problems, but depending on what news networks you watch or radio shows you listen to, you may erroneously believe otherwise. Thank you MBA for educating people on this.

They need to start building giant protein skimmers to remove organics from the water. Same principle as a reef tank, bubbles float organics into a removable collection cup before they brake down and cause toxins. That would be awesome!
