Ucluelet Aquarium

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ucluelet Aquarium is a seasonal public aquarium in Ucluelet, a village on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The aquarium exhibits marine animal and plant life native to the west coast. All of the exhibits have been collected from the nearby Pacific Ocean and released once the summer season is over. After a two year pilot project phase concluded in September 2005, enough support was gained for a permanent aquarium. Phase 1 of the permanent facility is set to open in summer 2008, with phase 2 planned for summer 2010.
