Thanks to numerous generous end-of-year tax-deductible donations to our Building Fund in the 4th quarter of 2011, including a $12,000 gift from Nick and Tessa Cavelletto of Chowchilla, the nonprofit 501(c)(3) Aquarius Aquarium Institute has now raised enough to pay for the engineering and a complete set of plans to be created by Bob Parrish of Parrish Hansen, Incorporated for our Phase One Fresno Aquarium building designed by architect Arthur Dyson, AIA.

We are now accepting $250pp double occupancy deposits for our upcoming fundraiser cruise aboard Royal Caribbean’s Mariner of the Seas (above) sailing January 27 – February 3, 2013. While it’s cold and foggy in Fresno, we will being visiting (and snorkeling) Roatan, Belize and Cozumel – home to some of the most spectacular sea creatures in the Caribbean!

If every man, woman and child attending the Big Fresno Fair donated $1, we could actually begin construction of our Phase One basement…

We just finished setting up our touch tide pool in the Aqua Sports booth at the Big Fresno Fair.
We are in the Commerce Building just inside the Chance Avenue Gate from October 5th through the 16th.
It was a great pleasure today for Aquarius Aquarium Institute Executive Director Tom Lang to accept a $1000 donation from the Guarantee® Good Will Network.
Executive Director Tom Lang had a great time being interviewed by Christine Park about our Fresno Aquarium project and Aquarius Aquarium Institute’s Teaching Tidepools™ educational outreach program.

From June 28 through July 4th every year, we have a fireworks stand in front of the Dante Club on Grantland Avenue, just south of Herndon Avenue in Fresno. It’s just a short distance from the Fresno Aquarium property and gives us a great opportunity to interact with the neighborhood closest to our project while we sell “safe and sane” fireworks in memory of Kyle Runciman at the same time!

Our mission: To elevate public consciousness and understanding of our aquatic world, says it all!
In keeping with our mission, Aquarius Aquarium Institute’s Earth Day focus each year is on the WATER portion of our blue planet.
