Manila Ocean Park considers the first state-of-theart Oceanarium which is located behind the Quirino Grandstand Luneta,

Manila, Philippines. Its main attraction is a 25-meter long, 220 degree curved acrylic walkway tunnel. Aside from the Oceanarium itself, the marine park has also boutique mall, restaurant row, and function facilities. It is owned by China Oceanis Philippines Inc., a subsidiary of China Oceanis Group Ltd (COG); a company that specializes in the investment, building, and operation of public aquarium/oceanarium attractions.

The Oceanarium journey is divided into six sections and each section will carry a Filipino name: Agos; Bahura; Buhay na Karagatan; Pating; Ang Kailaliman; and Laot. It replicates the water flow from a fresh water source that eventually leads to the open ocean, creating a model of interconnectedness between land and sea. It then takes one through the different depths of the sea showcasing each areas beautiful and natural inhabitants.

Actually Manila Ocean Park is under on a renovation; it is now in a more modern design and is more of the space when it comes on the entrance and lobby. Manila Ocean Park has improved well, many attractions were added and many animals were saved. Every single part of it has a significance and meaning. Saving life and maintaining the availability of each species is one of its priorities. Preserving the beauty and improving the way of life of each resource is always practiced and managed. Promoting and conserving resources work together to protect and to value its purpose and importance. These are primary goals to promote conservation efforts of marine species which are threatened by extinction, pollution and climate change. We are responsible to protect our resources so that future generations will have the chance to take a glimpse of marine life beauty.
