Info
The Ucluelet Aquarium is a non profit public aquarium in Ucluelet, a town on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The aquarium recently opened a new permanent building on June 1, 2012. The smaller temporary building located on the waterfront promenade had previously operated as a feasibility trial beginning in 2004 and ran seasonally until 2011. It exhibits marine plant and animal life (invertebrates and fishes) native to the west coast of Vancouver Island. The educational approach of the aquarium fosters an "up close and personal" visitor experience which encourages active participation with staff and volunteers in learning about the marine life on display.
