The Portland Aquarium is an for-profit aquarium in Oak Grove, Oregon, United States that opened to the public on December 15, 2012. ==Orqanization== The Portland Aquarium is a private, for-profit aquarium built with funding provided by an investment group. According to the owners, the for-profit model was chosen to allow the aquarium to be built quickly. The aquarium was constructed in a leased former steakhouse in Oak Grove. It was initially proposed to be called the "Oregon Aquarium." The Portland Aquarium is a limited liability company whose current members are Crystal Covino, David Rowe and Shane Shimada. The founding owners, in 2012, were bothers Vince and Ammon Covino, and Marc Gottlieb of Boise, ID.〔http://records.sos.state.or.us/webdrawer/webdrawer.dll/webdrawer/rec/2494778/view/SOS%20-%20Corporation%20-%20Business%20Entity%20Filing%20Records%20-%2086632099.PDF〕 Vince and Ammon Covino also were involved in starting the Idaho Aquarium in Boise and the Austin Aquarium in Texas. The Idaho Aquarium has since been taken over by a new director and new board members, in response to legal problems and controversies involving Ammon Covino and his co-founder, Chris Conk. Portland Aquarium is not an accredited member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) or the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA); it is "taking the steps necessary to become AZA and ZAA accredited." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portland Aquarium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
