After almost crying that the East Wing project never fully developed at the New England Aquarium, I did some research in why the expansion failed and why the Aquarium itself almost went under. This is an exceptional article on the problems arising before the project and after the project was dropped and how the President of the Aquarium pulled the Institution out of a giant hole.

If any zoo chat members have any information on what specific types of animals this "Gulf of Maine" exhibit would hold, I would very much like to find out more. I know that the building would be around 101,000 sq. ft. There would also be an 800,000 gallon Gulf of Maine exhibit, a 250,000 gallon West Rocky Shore exhibit and a 30,000 gallon puffin exhibit, as well as multiple smaller exhibits range from 500 gallons to 1,500 gallons.
