Great Places and Spaces: Clearwater Marine Aquarium’s ‘Rising Tides’ expansion plan

Clearwater Marine Aquarium has announced a multi-year expansion plan called “Rising Tides: Safeguarding Marine Life for the Future.” 

The campaign includes strategies to welcome new wildlife, create habitats and launch global conservation efforts.

The campaign is a collective effort to elevate conservation, education, guest experience and community engagement initiatives. 

“This expansion embodies our unwavering commitment to providing the best possible environment for our marine residents, while also ensuring that future generations can continue to benefit from the wonders of marine conservation,” said Joe Handy, chief executive officer of CMA. “Through our leadership in conservation, we will inspire others to join us in safeguarding our precious oceans for generations to come.” 

CMA estimates that it will need to raise $32 million, over the next six years, to complete the expansion.
