Review (in 1996):

If you can't make it to your local tide pool (or if you live in Nebraska), try the Safari Touch Tank. It's a colorful sort of cyber-saltwater fishbowl; use your mouse to "touch" the Purple Sea Star, and you'll learn the disgusting facts of how it extrudes its own stomach to slowly devour an oyster. (This is why we lock the car doors whenever we drive near the beach.)

Even the plants have stories to tell - the eelgrass may be hiding a school of young fish. Many interesting photos and even movie clips here. This undersea world provides just a sample of the sort of things a team of scientists, divers, archaeologists, and kids got to see during Safari '94, a project sponsored by the Royal B.C. Museum.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
