Ocean Hall
The hall is found to the south the room and is made up of the guinea moray that explains about 200 species of bony fishes found in topical, moray eels, and the subtropical coral reef and they range between 0.5m to 3m. There is also a display of relatedness, which explains that the moray eels which come in kaleidoscope patterns, colors, and names for the eels that are often based on their distinct appearances. In the ocean, different types of seashells are used for decorations such as queen conch, shinbone tibia, tritons, Atlantic, deer cowrie, green abalone. The marine phytoplankton produces most of the photosynthesis coccolith and is a small photosynthetic organism. The diatoms are the most common types of photosynthesis, and their shells are made of mica, which is very wide in shape and pattern. The barbell bacterium was discovered by scientists recently in the salt pond and given its name due to the form.
Ocean Diversity 1
It shows how the ocean was formed through the deposition of sediments. The sediments were formed by eroded rocks, bones, shells, lava, volcanic dust, and other materials. The fossils and other buried artifacts record the history of plants and animals that lived in that habitat.
Journey through time 1
This route has displays explaining the global vanishing acts whereby it explains that life can be relatively stable for the ages, and the extinction hints the specimen key of the marine species explaining the asteroids, little oxygen, and volcanos that killed them. The displays also explain those that survived and when the ocean diversity recovered.
Ocean diversity 2
This route is a continuation of the journey through time one the display explains the cause of species extinction and whether the destruction could happen again. They also tell who lives and who dies
Journey through time 2
A display of Mesozoic era shows extinct giant marine reptiles. Besides, it showcases holocephalan fish, which vanished many years ago. The presentation of placoderm jawed fishes which are known from fossil remains. Proterozoic eon, which explained the period when oxygen appeared on earth.
Deep Ocean
There is a presentation of various marine species that lived in the deep ocean a long time ago. The deep-sea is the largest habitat of many marine species. Besides, the habitat is the hardest to explore since there is much that we have never seen. There is scarce food in the deep ocean for marine species. The species have evolved over the years to adapt to the habitat without difficulty.
Right Whale
There is a display of the biggest ocean while that ever lived. There is a showcase of different types of whiles and their measurements.
Shores and shallows
There is a display of shores and shallows and marine species that used to stay in such habitats. There are also different types of the coast which are shaped by various factors.
Coral reefs
There is a display of intricate coral reefs which explains how they are formed and their composition. It explains why reefs are abundant and their uses. They do offer food and shelter marine species in the deep ocean.
Arctic Ocean
There is a display of a polar ecosystem that shows animals existed like bears. The arctic ocean is growing warmer, which enables polar bears to hunt from the sea ice—the display of echinoderms animals that live in the northern beaches.
Ocean Surface
The microbe is a general term used to refer to single-celled organisms too small to see individually with the naked eye. The minuscule plants are more extensive and account for a percentage of all photosynthesis on the earth.
There is a display of marine species. The animals’ larvae, their parents, which is is an advantage since they can find abundant food, the larvae drifting in the open ocean will spread to new paces; thus, no extension in case conditions change in one area. It also explains how to know what the larvae will grow to be through tracing the steps, watching them grow, and checking the DNA. A census of marine life is also explained in the display.
Ocean portal
This route explains the habitat destruction whereby over 33%of the Salmon habitat has been damaged by the dam destruction and gives the actions to be taken to control by supporting environmental developments along the oceans and waterways. There is also a map that shows where salmon and the Native people who relied on them have lived for a longer time along the northern Pacific Ocean.
Exploration
This route has display explaining the seamounts and rough going for orange roughly where they reach the reproductive age slowly. In the early days of the fishery, they were mostly harvested quickly, and stocks declined dramatically, illustrating why research is essential in managing ocean resources.
Marine collections
This route gives an expiation that the collections help the scientists to organize and make sense since there are millions of organisms and specimens and growing. The hypothermal vent ecosystems that show the superheated water spews from the ocean and gives an explanation on whether life can survive there.
