Oceanariums are large-scale seawater aquariums used to display marine species. Officials say that the oceanarium in Visakhapatnam will span across 10 acres and will be a tunnel-shaped structure that provides a 360° view of the ocean. More than 2,000 people will be able to see the oceanarium at a time.
In an attempt to promote tourism in Andhra Pradesh, the state government is planning to set up an oceanarium in the Port City. A recent cabinet meeting discussed the same along with ten other projects.
Oceanariums are large-scale seawater aquariums used to display marine species. Officials say that the oceanarium in Visakhapatnam will span across 10 acres and will be a tunnel-shaped structure that provides a 360° view of the ocean. More than 2,000 people will be able to see the oceanarium at a time. The Port City’s oceanarium will house thousands of marine species brought from all across the globe.
Tourism minister Muttamsetti Srinivasa Rao said, “We have discussed many projects and will take steps to prepare a detailed project report and identify land once the pandemic comes under control.” According to the tourism minister, the project will be executed in a public-private partnership (PPP) mode and is likely to cost over Rs 300 crore.
The minister said that a number of tourism projects have not taken shape because of the pandemic. “The entire state administration is busy dealing with the pandemic. Our utmost priority now is public health. We will focus on the oceanarium and other projects once the conditions are under control,” said Srinivasa Rao.
The proposal to develop an oceanarium in Visakhapatnam was mooted for the first time during the TDP regime. However, the project did not see light of day. Now, with the government planning a slew of measures to develop the state’s tourism industry, the oceanarium proposal has once again come to the fore.
