Oregon Coast Aquarium One of the State's Best Attractions
04:10  - 2 years ago
The waters of the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport are tranquil and blue, 1.3 million gallons of water provide a habitat for fish and sea life like marine mammals and many species of birds, while fascinating hundreds of thousands of people who come here each year. Aquarium spokesperson Cindy Hanson says the facility celebrating it's 15th year is one of the state's most vibrant destinations, "It is one of the Oregon Coast's biggest attractions, one of <I>Oregon's</i> biggest attractions, there are people who come here from all over the world to see the aquarium so it's definetely a draw for everyone and it's right here in our own backyard and we would really like to encourage Oregonians to come and rediscover their aquarium." This seemingly endless ocean environment is one of Oregon's most prized possessions and was named among the top ten world class aquariums by Coastal Living and USA Today. Cindy told me that most people have a favorite at the aquarium, in her case it is different species of Rockfish. New research based information is allowing a broader understanding of this fish and problems the species is likely to face in the future.
