New Okinawa Aquarium boasts largest acrylic panel

 

Officials at the new Okinawa Aquarium, now under

construction and scheduled for opening Nov. 1 in

Okinawa Expo Park in Motobu, say that they are

applying for listing in the Guinness Book of records

for having the largest acrylic fiber panel in the

world.

 

The main tank of the new facility has a window that is

22.5 meters long, 8.2 meters high and 60 cm thick

making it the biggest in the world. “We are planning

to register this panel with Guinness Book publishers

at the end of August, and we should get their

confirmation within about six months,” an official at

the Expo Park said.

 

The new aquarium is the largest in Asia and one of the

largest in the world having about 75,000 tons of water

in its tanks. The main attraction of the facility will

be three whale sharks, the first of which was

transferred to its new home July 22.
