Aquarium of the Americas, Public aquarium in French Quarter, New Orleans, USA.
The Aquarium of the Americas spans multiple ecosystems with exhibits featuring marine life from the Caribbean Sea, Amazon River, and Gulf of Mexico.
The facility opened in 1990 as part of the Audubon Institute and has since maintained a successful African penguin breeding program.
The Gulf of Mexico exhibit incorporates a quarter-scale oil rig model, reflecting the regional maritime industry's connection to marine environments.
Located at Canal Street, the aquarium operates daily from 10 AM to 5 PM and includes access to the adjacent Audubon Insectarium.
The facility houses two rehabilitated Southern sea otters, Buck and Emma, in a 25,000-gallon habitat equipped with specialized enrichment features.
