You Can Help Build The Living
Planet Aquarium
Most people never get the opportunity to explore the ocean depths.
It’s absolutely
vital that we do all we can to understand and protect the ocean habitat, which
covers
over 70 percent of our living planet. Tropical rain forests cover about 7
percent of
Earth’s surface, yet are absolutely essential to our global ecosystem.
They are
home to more than half of all the species on Earth and absorb carbon dioxide
while
releasing oxygen to Earth’s atmosphere. Yet, how many of us have the
opportunity
to travel to a tropical rain forest? Over 41 percent of all known fish species
live in
freshwater but we rarely have the opportunity to know much about them, much
less
observe them in their natural habitats.
Aquariums become our best way to learn respect for, observe and understand
the
complexities and importance of freshwater environments, rain forests and the
world’s
oceans. The Living Planet Aquarium “transports” you to these
important habitats so
you can experience their magical beauty and understand the wonder and intricacies
of our
interconnectedness to the global system of life.
The Living Planet Aquarium
— A financially sound investment
The operations of The Living Planet Aquarium
are 100% self-sufficient. Our gate receipts, gift shop, and facility rentals have supported
the entire budget: approximately $1,000,000 annually. Someday, we hope to build a large aquarium for the people of Utah. In the meantime, we have several new exhibits planned at our current location. However, we are committed to growing in a fiscally responsible manner!
See the List below for several key ways in which you can help us grow!
