The Waikīkī Aquarium begins construction to upgrade its popular Edge of the Reef exhibit this month to install a new water system. The newly planned exhibit will be larger and more interactive, offering an enhanced opportunity to connect with Hawaiʻi’s unique marine ecosystem.
The new injection well, a system designed to safely dispose of exhibit water underground, prevents the exhibit water from entering the sewer system or the ocean and complies with state and county regulations.
“This project is essential to the aquarium’s mission of sustainability and our commitment to inspiring conservation and appreciation of Pacific marine life,” said Andrew Rossiter, director of the Waikīkī Aquarium. “As we embark on creating an even more captivating exhibit for future generations, we ask our community to join us in this effort.”
Those interested in supporting this project can learn more at the Waikīkī Aquarium website.
