From An Aquarium To The World

Aquamarine Fukushima, it is an aquarium which locates at the Onahama Port, Fukushima.
It was 1 year and 4 month ago, terribly earthquake and huge tsunami hit this port on March 11, 2011.
Port and aquarium were damaged, lost electricity, most of sea creatures were died, aquarium was forced to be closed for 4 months.

It was 1 year ago, Aquamarine Fukushima was reopened on July 15, 2011.

Aquamarine held small event during 14-17 on this month, people gathered to watch beautiful movie at the entrance of the aquarium. "The magic of the great blue" by Darek Sepiolo was showed under the night sky.

I love this aquarium, this aquarium is really beautiful. Aquarium stands port side,  a triangle water tank, fish in humid tropical garden with sound of waves and peaceful music.

It is so sad, people avoid to visit this serene port town because they think Fukushima is not safe place.
Onahama port is not restricted area. Nuclear radiation is always monitored.
People still live and work in this place.

Event which Aquamarine held said "Beautiful sea, we will protect it".

"Revive Our Oceans".

Can you hear their voices?
