Gulf of Mexico
 |
Explore an underwater oil rig in the Aquarium’s Gulf of Mexico exhibit—the largest exhibit at Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. The enormous tank is 17 feet deep and holds 400,000 gallons of man-made saltwater. This exhibit showcases stingrays, sharks, a school of blue runner, a green sea turtle named King Mydas, and undersea life that thrives around the barnacled pilings of a ¼ scale replica of an offshore oil rig.
