The Gulf of Mexico is represented in the Aquarium of the Americas as a bio diverse demonstration of life. It's purpose is to demonstrate the effectiveness of a responsible industrial initiative in combination with natures ability to survive. Throughout the Gulf, there are oil and gas drilling platforms that are required for our energy consumption throughout the USA.
The Gulf Exhibit is a replication of a drilling platform. The aquarium has assembled a sampling of some of the life that divers and fisherman encounter when visiting the platforms of the Gulf of Mexico.
Some of the life divers and fisherman encounter are on display in this exhibit. The animal life includes...Jacks,turtles,redfish,sand tiger sharks,nurse sharks,stingrays,and tarpon.
