Where is the leadership here? We should be fully funding the Waikiki Aquarium. It’s the second-oldest in the country and horribly underfunded, yet maintained in spite of the fact that it is so important for research.
The University of Hawaii has not paid much attention or given enough care to the facility. The sidewalk on the seawall in front has totally collapsed. It held its last Hawaiian-style concert recently, which was well-attended. Aquarium Director Andrew Rossiter did his best to encourage the primarily local audience to support their world-class exhibits that are in need of repair. The outdoor Edge of the Reef exhibit, which is due for demolition, should definitely be kept. UH, the hospitality industry and local leaders need to step up.
