  • Kiloia 2010 Summer.Pdf
    from the Director mark For those who have visited us recently, it is clear to see we are in the midst of some major renovations in Gallery 4, where construction of the new Northwestern Hawaiian Islands exhibit is now well underway. And this much-anticipated exhibit is the first in a string of exciting new changes. Once the NWHI exhibit is complete next year, we will begin work on the opposite side of the gallery on a new Hawaiian Streams exhibit, which will come complete with a cascading waterfall. Our attention will then turn to the wall near the exit, which currently houses the Reef Machine and the museum display. This will become the new home of an exhibit showcasing fishes of the family Syngnathidae, better known as the seahorses, seadragons and pipefishes. We can only anticipate that this will be a very popular addition to the Aquarium. The exhibit will be supported by a new Syngnathidae research and breeding facility behind the scenes. And next to this structure will be space dedicated to research on nautilus biology and breeding. Construction for these two behind-the-scenes projects should get underway this summer. The money for the seahorse exhibit and research area and the nauti- lus project have been approved by the Friends of the Waikïkï Aquarium Board and are derived from FOWA memberships and donations that have been generously provided by FOWA members over the years. We thank you for your support. The NWHI exhibit and the Hawaiian streams exhibit are both funded with money raised at Ke Kani O Ke Kai.
