Meereszentrum Fehmarn, Public aquarium in Burg, Fehmarn, Germany
Meereszentrum Fehmarn is a large aquarium on the island of Fehmarn with multiple tanks filled with marine life. It displays creatures from tropical seas and the Baltic Sea across different exhibition areas.
The center was founded in 1994 and moved to a new building in 1997 where it then expanded. Further growth followed to accommodate more marine species and increase visitor capacity.
The centre is a partner of Sharkproject, an international initiative for shark protection and research. A permanent exhibition explains how sharks live, how their senses and hunting work, and the threats they face from humans. The name Meereszentrum simply means "sea centre".
You can visit with family or groups and spend time walking through the different tanks and viewing areas. Wear comfortable shoes since you will be walking quite a bit to see all the exhibitions.
In February 2012 the centre opened the Ostsee Erlebniswelt in Klaustorf near Großenbrode, an annex with an aquarium and displays tracing the local marine environment back to the prehistoric and ice ages. The main aquarium in Burg is a partner of Sharkproject, an international initiative for shark protection and research.
