A buzzy evening was held at the Cox Science Center and Aquarium for donors involved in its "Elevating Science Education" capital campaign.

Sponsored by Christie's, the evening offered fine food and wine pairings to celebrate the Center's most visionary donors.

Thanks to overwhelming generosity, the campaign has raised $100 million of its $122 million goal.

"I want to thank all of you here tonight for getting us to this point," said CSCA President & CEO, Kate Arrizza. "Your support has been astonishing, and we would not be able to break ground later this week without you. Everyone here tonight is a friend and supporter of the Science Center, and you truly see the value in what we do here."

Later that week, CSCA leadership ceremoniously put shovels in the ground to commemorate the start of construction.

After more than six decades, the planned expansion will revolutionize CSCA, allowing it to serve nearly 1 million guests annually in new and renovated spaces.

This includes a new science building visible from I-95, new outdoor spaces, and one of Florida's largest indoor aquariums.

The current indoor/ outdoor campus is set to double in size from 50,000-square-feet to more than 100,000-square-feet, with the aquarium expanding from 10,000 gallons to 130,000 gallons.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
