The Future of Aquaria
Responding to increased pressure on the world’s oceans, a number of aquariums are moving beyond their traditional role of educating while entertaining the public. Some now try to inspire their visitors to become active advocates for environmental protection. There’s even talk of a world-wide network of aquariums that would help shape public opinion on overfishing, climate change and other issues. Change is rippling through the world of aquariums, but as Living On Earth’s John Rudolph reports, not everyone is convinced that this newfound activism is the best way to go.
