Abstract:

After closing two-and-a-half years for expansion and renovation, the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium reopened in May 2006. Lea discusses the renovation project and describes exhibits in the mountain, Piedmont, coastal plains, and ocean galleries. The simulated environments have been praised as being indistinguishable from the real thing. Of the three state aquariums, the one at Pine Knoll Shores is the only one with access to natural seawater for the exhibit tanks.
