A towering fish tank and circular theater have been built at huge expense, but lifelike exhibits and a clever design concept haven't been enough to draw people in. What they do mean to the museum's operators, however, is huge maintenance expenses and high mortgage payments. Hopes of using a cultural undertaking to spur tourism have come to naught.
耗費鉅資興建的挑高水槽和環形劇場，是了解甲殼類棲息環境的擬真展示，儘管設計別出心裁，卻無法吸引足夠的參觀民眾，徒留龐大的維修經費和必須償還的貸款讓當局頭痛，也使該地以文化產業帶動觀光的希望落空。
