Islands of Steel
is our largest indoor exhibit and it represents an underwater view of the habitat formed around an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico. Nurse sharks, green moray eels, spadefish, amberjack, tarpon, grouper and a sand tiger shark can all be found in this 125,000-gallon saltwater exhibit. Because the Gulf of Mexico is one of the most oil-rich bodies of water, Islands of Steel allows visitors to see the wildlife that is right in our backyard.
