Aquarium Sea Creature Refugees

In addition to the many thousands of people who had to take refuge after the earthquake and tsunami, sea creatures from the Aquamairne Fukushima Aquarium had to be relocated to other aquariums throughout Japan.

The aquarium in Fukushima was flooded by the tsunami and many of the fish died, but the larger animals were able to survive. Since conditions at the aquarium were not suitable to keep it in operation these animals had to take refuge at locations that could accommodate them. A seal from there was relocated to the aquarium next to where we live.
