The Georgia Aquarium is a open public
aquarium in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. It homes tens of hundreds animals,
addressing several thousand species, all of which reside in 10 million US
gallons of marine and salt water, and is the biggest aquarium in the western
hemisphere. It was the greatest aquarium in the whole world from its opening in
2005 until 2012, when it was surpassed by Marine Life Park in Singapore.
Businessman Bernard Marcus credits his 60th
birthday dinner, organized at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, with motivating him to
develop a great aquarium for Atlanta, his pursuing $250 million donation
offered the bulk of the funds needed to develop and stock the new facility. The
Aquarium's significant types include whale sharks, beluga whales, bottlenose dolphins,
and manta rays.
In November 2001, Bernard Marcus declared
his perspective of showing Atlanta with an aquarium that would encourage both
education and economic growth. After visiting 56 aquariums in 13 countries with
his wife, Billi, he contributed $250 million toward what was to become Georgia
Aquarium. Corporate efforts amassing an extra $40 million permitted the
aquarium to open debt-free.
