In the old fort of S\u00e3o Jo\u00e3o Baptista, at the entrance of Porto Moniz, the Aqu\u00e1rio da Madeira keeps the life of the island’s seas: dozens of tanks where the marine species of the archipelago swim, from the coasts of the north to the depths of the Atlantic. Part of the aquarium lives in the stone rooms of the fort, on the seafront beside the famous natural pools of Porto Moniz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aquarium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aquarium opened in 2005, on the waterfront of Porto Moniz, and shows the biodiversity of the seas of Madeira in a circuit of tanks with the species of the archipelago \u2014 fish of the rocky coasts, of the sandy bottoms and of the open sea. The building joins the old fort and the seafront of the village, next to the natural pools, and the visit is a journey through the underwater world of the island, with the work of knowledge and conservation of the marine life of Madeira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
