Developer Darryl Shaw will lead The Florida Aquarium’s upcoming $40 million capital campaign, called Sea Change.
The campaign will be the aquarium’s largest since opening in 1995. It will help fund plans for a major expansion, including several new guest experiences and an outdoor California sea lion habitat.
“The Florida Aquarium is a community treasure and its impact goes far beyond our region’s borders,” Shaw said.
“Having a vibrant, thriving cultural attraction like The Florida Aquarium enhances our quality of life and places us on an international stage.
The expansion project began this month and is scheduled for completion sometime in 2025.
