The Brevard Zoo’s Executive Director, Keith Winsten, says the zoo has reached the $70,000,000 mark in its $100,000,000 fundraising campaign.
The aquarium campus includes: the sea turtle care complex, a critical care center for manatees, a coastal conservation hub, and more.
The zoo has a development agreement with the port for a fourteen-acre property on the Banana River. But, there’s more work to do before construction can begin.
