OBJECTIVE :(a) To create a commercial theme park where marine mammals are kept within water tanks and displayed in public. Advance technologies designs allows visitor to wander through tunnels and bridges to gain differing perspective on the species. (b) To develop a research center and conservation center. (c) To create an awareness among the visitors about the protection and preserving of marine mammals by establishing educational center. (d) To develop entertainment center to attract the public.

NEED :There is a certain need for the development of oceanarium in India as it is rich in marine life. There is a need to conserve and preserve the marine species.

It also acts as an entertainment center and attracts people.

India is surrounded by sea on three sides and has one of the longest coastlines in the world.

There is no state of art facility available in the country for appropriate scientific research and awareness. Helps in tourism development .
