THE OCEANARIUM
““Unuil he extends his circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace”. Albert Schweitzer.
2.1-DEFINITION:
OCEANARIUM:
‘An Oceanarium can be @ marine mammal park as well as large scale aquarium presenting an ocean habitat with
marine life. An aquarium simulates a water habitat; for instance a river lake or sea: but only the submerged area of these
natural habitats, “Establishments where collection of living aquatic animals and plants are exhibited or studied.”
‘An object or place in which aquatic animals, principally fish are kept captive for public or private exhibition”
Saltwater aquarium for displaying animals and plant, particularly oceanic, or pelagic, fishes and mammals. It serves as a
center for public entertainment and education and scientific study oceanariums are located in coastal areas. The world
largest oceanarium, now know as marineland (q.v), was completed in 1938 near st. Augustine, fla,u.s
Above are a few dictionary taken definitions of an oceanarium .as far as public oceanarium are concerned they ean be
defined as “a building used for showing collections of living fish water animals and plants”
2.2-PROJECT:
‘The project is about the development of an “oceanarium”. As the name indicates, itis related to the under water.
2.3-PURPOSE AND NEED:
2.3.1-Purpose:
public oceanarium serves the purpose of recreation as well as education, or it provides a platform for education through
entertainment. Human beings believe in the theory of out of sight out of mind providing a window towards the water world
will some, how create a soft comer for the species living there and will motivate us not to harm there habitat
For researchers and research institutes it provides vast research possibilities, which is not only beneficial for them but
also helps provide conversation possibilities forthe species.2.3.2-NEED:
Living along the coastline brings the inhabitants with close contact tothe sea every now and then. Around the world we
see development around the coasts small islands countries earn a lot of money from tourism due to this coastal development.
‘The reason is the sea; the beaches are an attraction all around the world people through to beaches during, vacations
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand etc. are the finest example of this. They realized the importance of the force of the sea and
developed their waterfronts to the international standards.
‘An oceanarium is as an essential part of this sea front development as it tells us that how beauty fies within this
enigmatic sea it is in itself a sea enclosed within an edifice. It also helps the research work going on regarding the sea and
its ereature. Conversation of species is the slogan of the oceanariums around the world. The need for an oceanarium is
stressed; as itis not just a recreational spot itis @ research platform from where extensive researches on flora and fauna is
conducted
2.3-SCOPE OF PROJECT:
India is surrounded by sea on 3 side and has a large coastline on the southern side in the Arabian sea. Rich in marine life
countless marine species. Marine life is one of the most important resource of the country and there is an increasing
demand for the development and conservation of our marine wealth. There is no state of at facility available in the country
for the appropriate sciemtfic research and awareness. Help develop tourism.
2.4-PROJECT FACILITIES:
OCEANARIUM is a place where you can get to know and see the marine life and all its beautiful and_ stunning aspects
‘more closely. It includes all the usual and special features to make it successful and attract and amuse visitors
Basically it consist of an underwater aquarium with a unique and thrilling acrylic tunnel. An under water seafood
restaurant that has a large central round water tank. An aqua museum that displays different species of fishes, invertebrates
and also provide history and knowledge about them
So it does not only provide entertainment related to marine life but also covers a wide range of educational aspects and
some research the water world but also seek and learn knowledge,
The most entertaining facility isthe acrylic tunnel built under water. So it provides the visitor with a unique atmosphere.
Along with these informative aspects, the OCEANARIUM also provides its visitors with recreational facilities like scuba
diving, an ocean motion theatre, water jet skies, sub marine ride. It also has a dolphin pool, where dolphin shows are
arranged to entertain the visitors. Also has a touch pool where one can touch and feel the hanmless creatures.
‘The most exciting and modern facility is that of an Oceanarium, which is a manned submarine. It is an ocean motion
‘movie theatre that imparts a feeling of really being underwater.
‘Thus an OCEANARIUM is a place complete in itself, where one can enjoy how it feels being under water without
going through the leaning process of scuba diving and the fear of oxygen!
2.5-ZONES OF OCEANARIUM
OCEANARIUM basically covers the following three zones of
facilities:
+Entertainment facilities,
+Educational facilities,
+Fun and recreational facilities,
*Research facil
2.5.1-ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES
For this purpose the OCEANARIUM has an “underwater aquarium”
‘hich is the primary factor ofthis project.
-An underwater Aquarium:
This is not an ordinary aquarium but it provides its visitors with a
unique and fascinating environment. It comprises of large coral re
tanks and several other glass cases and aquariums to enjoy the sea life,
displaying all varieties and species of idishes, reptiles, amphibians, sea ‘Figure .1-UNDERWATER TUNNEL
plants etc. it also includes a several feet long acrylic tunnel through
‘hich one can move around and see the marine world very closely
Under water tunnel
2-Acrylic tunnel:
The acrylic tunnel will be a nearly 350 feet long winding path. It will be made of a semi circular acrylic through which the
visitors can see the water world and fishes at jut afew centimeters distance!
‘The acrylic tunnel will be nearly 4 meters high and 2 meters wide. At one side of the tunnel be a conveyor belt oF a moving
travelatorat particular distances, So the visitors can just stand on the belt and go around the tunnel ata desirable slow speed3 Constructional detail
Just like any other tunnel, the sidewalls are made up of concrete, neatly three feet high. The AC ducts are fixed on the
sides and have inlets on it. As the name indicates the tunnel is made up of acrylic glass, a special kind of glass mostly used
for display tanks and tunnels nowadays.
‘The glass is heated at a certain temperature and is curved as requires. These panels are then fixed over the conerete wall
with the help of clamps and sealant glues. Each acrylic panel is about one meter in length and is joined with the help of a
special marine sealant, or are welded together, or joined with a metal strip
tightened by nuts and bolts. The thickness of the glass depends upon the
volume of the tanks and the water, Handrails are provided at both ends for
safety and comfort
4-Aquarium displays:
‘The aquarium displays are spread throughout the building in all floors.
‘These aquariums not only contain fishes but also reptiles, invertebrates
and amphibians, thus providing a wide variety. These are not just the
simple usual types of aquarium but are designed with new methods and
techniques, thus allowing the aquarium’s viewing acrylic panel to be
arranged in different sizes and forms. This gives a break to the continuity
of the aquariums and Adds to the interest of visitors. Also the circulation
area for the visitors is such provided that it does not follow a same route
or straight lines, but the interest to move around is enhanced with curved
pathways and varying widths of the corridor. This does not only break the Figure 2.2 AQUARIUM DISPLAY
continuity but also and saves the visitors from following the same route
‘The aquarium displays have the following galleries:
Central coral reef tank:
At the entrance of the oceanarium is the majestic vertical central coral
reef tube, which extends to the other floors of the building as well. The
magnifying effect of the narrow tube allows visitors to see the distinct
features ofthe fishes as they swim past slowly
Beautiful golden and diamond trevalies, tarpon, squirrelfish and rainbow
runners can be seen. There are also lots of smaller fishes, which orbit the
impressive central rockwork.
‘The vertical tank allows following the fishes to the upper stories to lead
the visitors to more exhibits on other levels,
*A touch pool
‘Where one can touch and stroke the banded-bamboo shark and feel their
rough-textured skin as they glide past one’s skin! One can feel blue-spotted
stingrays, nodular sea stars, banded-bamboo sharks and porcupine puffers,
all harmless creatures
Its construction is carried out the same way as that for the turtles. All
the harmless creatures are Kept in a normal pool, with desirable
temperature. Visitors especially kids can touch and feel the skins of the
creatures!

Many of the problems siem from human development, such as factory pollutants, boats traffic and more. Research provides
keys to fixing damage created by people to wild populations of marine animals,
2.9.2-Research:
Research occurs in the field and at the aquarium and research exists wit partnerships and independently.
sin the field: year-around the aquarium participates in field research and assists scientist collecting data about wild
populations
“At the aquarium: research is ongoing at aquarium labs and with display animals, by graduates students and staff
I-Serviee floo
‘To promote basic research in all fields of the aquatic environment and provide comprehensive and technical support to the
public on all aspects of the marine and fresh water environment.
‘The mission of the Aquarium service floor is to conserve aquatic life through display and interpretation, education, research
and direct action. Aquarium staff and volunteers have been involved in the creation of marine protected Area, beach clean-up,
‘wetlands restorations and rehabilitations, and population surveys of marine mammals and intertidal fishes.
2-Quarantine Areas:
‘These are the areas where the fishes and sea animals are kept right after they are brought. Such as environment is given to the
‘animals so that they become easily used to the sort of water used in the aquarium displays. The animals are kept in these
‘quarantine areas until they adapt to the living and feeding habits. These are further divided into several areas and several
large and small tanks are kept here so thatthe different species can be looked after differently and if water in one quarantine
tank becomes poisonous, then only the fishes in that tank are effected by it. Ths is done to stay on the safer side
3Water container and pumps system:
“A large setup of water containers and pumps and filtration system is placed in the basement for the proper flow and water
quality for the aquarium displays. Fisheries research and general support to the knowledge of the marine environment.

To promote the conservation of marine life in Karachi, in an exciting and enjoyable feature is the underwater acrylic tunnel, a
very modem and exciting way of displaying the sea life. It can be called as a modern aquarium. This types of an
OCEANARIUM built almost anywhere proves to be a popular attraction.
‘The success of the project greatly depends upon its site sites selection,
Closer to the coastline, being a very beautiful, attractive and calm shore of Karachi Arabian Sea, it will prove to be the best
site for this project. It is not only beautiful but also easily accessible,
Tourism is one of the biggest income-regenerating factors in Karachi, And this project, being one of its kinds, has the ability
to attract visitors from the entire world and be very helpful and useful in promoting and increasing the scope of tourism,
Marine life is very colorful and has its own beauty but many of us are completely ignorant of this magnificent world. The
development of an OCEANARIUM is to make it easy for everyone to see this world, get knowledge and be fascinated!2.11-Form and structure:
For the building construction the material has been carefully selected, keeping in view the modernism of that area. The basic
‘construction is all carried out in conerete blocks. The major building elements in Karachi. The building has a normal conerete
beams and slabs construction in the ground, first and other floors and a shell roof structure at the top resembling the shape of
