The reef community on Maui generally avoids the Maui Ocean Center. The place is known for continuing resistance and opposition to aquarium trade regulation and past oppostion to animal cruelty ordinances. Maui Ocean Center is also notorious for capturing 2 well-know spotted eagle rays loved by many in Maalaea Harbor for glass tank confinement, and also known for catching tiger sharks and keeping them till they're near death, after familiarizing them with human feeding, then releasing them into Maalaea Bay. And MOC is known for taking Malaaea Bay from about 95% coral cover to about 5% since they opened, dumping contaminated aquarium water back into the bay constantly. Aquarium experts know you can't do that. Maui Ocean Center is also a huge consumer of reef critters, alive or dead, to feed their sharks. They have a history of fish kills. But you know my view of aquariums. Nobody needs them, especially reef species and habitat.
