The Miami Conservancy District is sponsoring a giant freshwater aquarium on May 1.
“Life Below the Waterline” will feature a 2,200 gallon mobile aquarium showcasing fish collected from the Little Miami River up close.
Two large viewing windows will display native species including Smallmouth Bass, Carp, Redhorse and Pike.
Visitors can explore the traveling aquarium at this year’s Riverway Summit in Riverfront Park in downtown Miamisburg from noon to 5 p.m.
"The health of the Great Miami River affects all of us," stated Sarah Hippensteel Hall, manager of communications, outreach, and stewardship for the Miami Conservancy District. "This aquarium gives people a rare opportunity to see the life thriving beneath the surface — and to understand how protecting the river also protects the groundwater we all rely on for drinking water."
