Zhuhai Chimelong Marine Science Park comes after ten years of planning, research and development, and five years of construction.

The marine science park will be the largest indoor offering of its kind in the world. It will conserve manatees, freshwater stingrays, and various live corals.

The park will display approximately 300 species of rare marine animals, according to Jiang Minling, general manager of the Zhuhai Chimelong International Ocean Resort (via China Daily).

“As the world’s largest database of living marine resources, we will team up with leading experts and science institutes to save more rare marine animals,” said Jiang.
