New York Aquarium Moving sharks into new Ocean Wonders exhibit

[DavidBrown]

The long-in-production shark exhibit at the New York Aquarium is scheduled to open June, 30, 2018 according to this story. The story details how a sand tiger shark is moved into its new exhibit, and gives some details on what the new exhibit will be like and the species it exhibits.

How Do You Move a Shark? Very Carefully.

I read the NY Times article and it's exciting to see the long awaited exhibit will finally be opening. It's also the first time I have seen the 12 shark species that will be exhibited including zebra shark. I know there will be three large tanks including the 350,000 gallon Hudson Canyon, but I am curious what the smaller exhibits will be. There are supposed to be 11 tanks in all.

The New York Aquarium map now lists three upcoming exhibits to open after Ocean Wonders:
PlayQuarium (in the old Explore the Shore building)
Spineless Wonders (in the old alien stingers building)
Sea Change (in the old Sea Cliffs building where you'd view the animals underwater)
Nothing yet on when construction will start on those exhibits, but they have some renderings on the Aquarium grounds.
