From coral reefs to sea lion habitats, we tailor solutions to your exhibit’s unique needs.
Replicating Natural Habitats
Many marine species, such as sea lions, dolphins, and penguins, rely on wave motion as a fundamental part of their natural habitat. By replicating water movements within exhibits, zoos and aquariums can provide a more authentic environment for these animals.
The use of waves not only enhances the visual appeal of the exhibit but also contributes to the overall well-being of the animals. It helps maintain water quality and promotes natural behaviors, reducing stress and ensuring the animals' physical and mental health.
Zoos and aquariums provide smaller habitats than what animals have access to in nature. Waves and water motion significantly increase the physical health of marine life by providing physical and engaging activity. By swimming against or through moving water, marine life receives physical activity necessary for proper growth and muscle development and the resistance provided by water movement may aid marine life in digestion and metabolism.
Creating A Balanced Ecosystem
Beyond aesthetics, waves and water motion serve critical ecological functions within aquatic habitats. For instance, live coral reefs require continuous water flow to transport nutrients and remove waste. Waves play a vital role in sustaining these delicate ecosystems by facilitating essential life support processes.
Incorporating realistic water movements is not only about creating a captivating experience for visitors - it is about creating a balance of life within the exhibit. From nutrient cycling to oxygenation, waves contribute to the vitality of marine ecosystems in zoos and aquariums.

Enhancing Exhibit Design
The integration of water motion technology can significantly improve exhibit design. Innovations such as pneumatic wave systems and having the wave technology out of the water, have enabled zoos and aquariums to recreate realistic aquatic environments without causing harm to marine life.
With the creation of realistic and exciting exhibits comes greater guest experience and satisfaction.
