The marine aquarium of approx. 40 m3 consist of 4 touch pools with a lot of tropical fishes and invertebrates from the surrounding reefs, including reef- and nurse sharks, Hawksbill turtles, parrot-, lion- and scorpion fishes. The fishes are kept in the pools for certain periods of time before they are released back into the sea again. 

 

The aquarium is popular among the tourists and school classes who want to get a closer look at the marine life around the islands. The aquarium tries to give the visitors a small glimpse of the life on coral reefs, which is probably one of natures most diversified concentration of animal life, where fishes and other creatures appear in all kinds of colours and shapes. The coral reef environment is unique and gives us an overwhelming impression of natures ecological complexity.
