  The "Aquarium of the Pacific" located in Long Beach CA, displays many of the native species of animals found in the eastern part of the Pacific as well as the coral reef habitats found throughout the Pacific Ocean. We visited the aquarium in July of 1999 and took these photos as a small sampling of what can be found there. We expect to visit again soon and provide more photos and more specific information on the aqarium specifics. A visit is well worth your while!
