	Waikiki Aquarium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Waikīkī Aquarium is one of the premier marine science institutions in the City and County of Honolulu and the State of Hawai'i.
		The Waikīkī Aquarium was established by the Honolulu Rapid Transit Authority, a forerunner of the present-day O'ahu Transit Services, Inc. It was hoped that the aquarium would entice travellers to ride the trolley all the way to the end of the line at Queen Kapi'olani Park where the Waikīkī Aquarium is located.
		These aquarium structures were reliant on a permanent provision of seawater and therefore the aquarium seawater situation was not so different from the ones on the reef.
