Yeah - I went and wasn't sure how I felt about it. It's a nice thought, but most of the tanks were made into art displays or dioramas. It looks like a TON of places donated, which makes me question why there was so little there.

Most people didn't even hear about it until the last few days. I would gladly have volunteered if I had heard about it. So, someone's heart was in the right place. Just makes me wonder if the planning might have been lacking.

No offense to anyone who was involved.

I do know a guy that works for the conservancy and it is looking more and more like the aquarium will reopen at some point in the near future. Granted, there is a lot of work to be done to get it back up and running completely... but that is pretty good news in my opinion.
