Aquarium in Paranagua, State of Paraná in 2010

Rasca Rodrigues, the Secretary of the Environment of the State of Paraná, introduced the project of building an aquarium that will be finished in the beginning of 2010.  The project it will cost $5 million Reais( Brazilian currency) and will occupied 2.2 thousand square meters with three levels.  The money came from fees paid for the Chilean ship Vicuna that exploded in 2004 at Paranaguá Bay.  The land, donated by the City Hall, will be at Ferradura neighborhood.

Rasca is predicting that the number of visitors could reach 300 thousand in the first year.  Four years ago the University PUC-Paraná started to place fish in a small aquarium in Guaratuba City. After that came the idea to build a bigger place to improve the tourism at Paraná’s coast.
