ANOTHER VISIT TO THE VANCOUVER AQUARIUM. THIS IS A MAJOR AQUARIUM WHICH ALWAYS HAS A FEW NEW SPECIES. IT CERTAINLY HAS IT'S GOOD AND BAD POINTS (ie: MORE FISH/WHALE RELATED TACKY MERCHANDISE THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT EXISTED. THEY MUST KEEP A MEDIUM-SIZED CITY OFFSHORE FULLY-EMPLOYED MAKING THIS STUFF). BUT THEIR EMPHASIS ON SMALL AQUATIC COMMUNITIES OF THE NE PACIFIC IS GREAT AND IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO PRACTICE WITH THE NEW PANASONIC.
