Trip to Alaska. Vancouver Aquarium, Canada. Jun/2016
The Vancouver Aquarium (officially the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre) is a public aquarium located in Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. In addition to being a major tourist attraction for Vancouver, the aquarium is a centre for marine research, conservation and marine animal rehabilitation.
The Vancouver Aquarium was one of the first facilities to incorporate professional naturalists into the galleries to interpret animal behaviours.[6] Prior to this, at the London Zoo Fish House, naturalists James S. Bowerbank, Ray Lankester, David W. Mitchell andPhilip H. Gosse (the creator of the word aquarium)[7] had regularly held "open house" events, but the Vancouver Aquarium was the first to employ educational naturalists on a full-time basis. Aquarium research projects extend worldwide, and include marine mammal rescue and rehabilitation.

Dentro do Stanley Park, o aquário de Vancouver é lar para mais de 70 mil animais, incluindo golfinhos, baleias e leões-marinhos. Ele é dividido em vários ambientes, que vão do ártico à floresta tropical. A principal atração são as belugas, espécie de baleia branca, típica das águas geladas do norte do Canadá. Tanto as belugas quanto os golfinhos fazem vários shows diários para entreter o público. O aquário de Vancouver tem um papel importante também nas áreas de conservação e pesquisa e há mais de 40 anos salva e reabilita mamíferos marinhos.
