This past Saturday evening, the Ocean and resources Engineering Program at UH Manoa celebrated it's 50th Anniversary at the Waikiki Aquarium. Of course I walked through the exhibits - not much has changed but the Hawaiian Fish Pond and the Opae Ula exhibits were not in the interior spaces (I didn't get to look on the outside - it got dark while I was looking around in the inside). The Giant Clam was still there nice and happy.
The Hunters on the Reef exhibit was still there (and now I look at the Uluas with a whole different perspective) - these shark jaw pictures are for my future reference for id purposes.
The ubiquitous jellyfish
A pair of healthy Harlequin Shrimp
A Scorpionfish
Another Scorpionfish that mimics debris
An "Asian" Arrowana
The Tako Tank - I couldn't see if the Triton's Trumpet next to it was alive or not.
An Urchin
A Boxer Shrimp
An Urchin with the Boxer Shrimp trying to box the spines. Must get rough living in confined quarters.
And a picture of one of my Professors. It was a really good time reflecting on the past, checking out some cool exhibits, eating some food and looking to the future.
