==Renderings==
On [[May 24]], [[2007]], a detailed conceptual design by [[Doug Mund]] was unveiled. Renderings and floor plans of the three-story museum show a curved exterior wall (evoking a seafaring vessel) with a restaurant on the first floor, an interactive theater on the second floor, a "touch tank" on the third floor, and a 125,000 gallon ocean tank that spans all three levels. [[CMPA]] board chairman [[Lacey Collier]] praised the concept, saying, "I always evaluate places myself when you walk in if it makes you say, 'Wow!' I think we have a double wow here."<ref>http://ricksblog.biz/?p=1862</ref>
