Florida Aquarium in mid-town Tampa partnered with the Southwest Florida Water Management District to build an 11.25-acre stormwater research and demonstration area to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative low impact parking lot design to reduce runoff and improve the quality of water flowing into Tampa Bay, an Estuary of National Significance included in the National Estuary Program.
The fundamental goal of this project was to extend the environmental education objectives of the Aquarium to the parking lot and the Aquarium's shaded Queuing Garden near the entrance.
