Conservation Cove
Conservation Cove, an integral component of our long range master plan, is the Aquarium's next major initiative. This ambitious program will completely reshape our outdoor exhibit areas, and will significantly boost the quality of the guest experience. More importantly though, this three-year program will allow us to engage and inspire a wildlife conservation ethic in a more effective and entertaining manner.
The Conservation Cove capital campaign is a $3,000,000 initiative. The exhibits will be refreshed, expanded in some instances, and reconceived as:
The enhanced educational and entertainment components will reinvigorate the guest experience, allowing the Aquarium to better engage its visitors with compelling messages on the value of diverse South Texas habitats, key environmental issues facing the animal that occupy these marine, coastal and terrestrial habitats, as well what we, as individuals, can do to positively effect conservation of these endangered, threatened and protected species.

Hawn Wild Flight Theater (Now Open)
Raptor Roost
Turtle Cove
Otter Space
Outdoor Marsh
American Alligator Exhibit
Freshwater Fish and Reptile Exhibits
Through the Conservation Cove campaign, the Aquarium will broaden the interpretive and exhibit scope of the existing pavilion while creating a cohesive "look and feel" to the exhibit area and its underlying conservation messages. The exhibit area has already been expanded with the addition of the Hawn Wild Flight Theater which opened April 2007. New interactive exhibits and animal habitats for additional species such as the Bald Eagle, the Guadalupe Bass and the Diamondback Terrapin will also be added. Current exhibits for the sea turtles, alligators and otters will be expanded or renovated to create a more compelling experience. Graphics throughout will discuss the challenges each of these animals face due to factors such as the decline of marsh, wetland and coastal habitats while highlighting stories of successful habitat and species recovery.
