The huge underwater aquarium housed within Sir Terry Farrel’s innovative glass and aluminium building overlooking the Humber Estuary is both a museum and an environmental and educational charity, which works on conservation programmes and marine research worldwide.
The underwater centre, known as a ‘submarium’, is divided into more than thirty aquatic exhibits, from shallow tropical seas to the icy depths of the ocean, and is home to over 3,500 fish including rays, octopus and 40 kinds of sharks. Green initiatives from 2005-2008 have reduced the aquarium’s draw on energy by a quarter.
