The Miami Seaquarium is an aquarium located on Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay in the city of Miami, Florida, USA.

The park was founded by Fred D. Coppock and Capt. W.B. Gray and was the first major marine park attraction in South Florida. It's grand opening was in 1955.[1]

In addition to the marine mammals, the Miami Seaquarium also houses fish, sharks, sea turtles, birds, reptiles and manatees. The Seaquarium staff also works together to conserve the endangered Florida Manatee and rehabilitate injured marine animals.
