A 12 meter long and 8 meter wide main tank holding 320 000 litres of water, various smaller tanks and numerous informative posters await the visitor in the National Marine Aquarium at Swakopmund. Sharks, turtles and various species of fish can be seen at close range and from all sides while taking the underwater walk-way of the main tank, a special highlight of the aquarium. The main tank houses marine life found in the cold Benguela Current off the west-coast of Southern Africa, while in the smaller tanks organism from the inshore waters, which mainly occur along the sandy and rocky beaches, such as the Violet Spotted Anemone can be seen. Information regarding marine mammals, such as Dolphins, fishing or marine pollution is also provided. The feeding of the fish, which takes place every day at 15h00 is an impressionable event. Unfortunately it’s a very expensive venture for foreign visitors, who have to pay N$30 entrance fee in contrast to Namibians who pay only N$10 or Namibian children and students who only have to pay N$5.
