The facility, designed by the architecture firm SPARKS[1] and constructed by Ross Group, features eight exhibits including sites that focus on invertebrates, Oklahoma species, Ozark habitats, a coral reef, and sharks.[2] The aquarium also formerly housed the Karl and Beverly White National Fishing Tackle Museum, a major collection of 30,000 pieces of antique fishing tackle donated by Karl White.[3] Mr. White withdrew his collection in 2010.[4] In July 2003, Discovery Channel's naturalist and filmmaker Nigel Marven (along with crew) documented four bull sharks at home in the architecturally innovative {{convert|500000|USgal|L|adj=on}} tank. The resulting shots and commentary were featured in the 2003 edition of Discovery Channel's Shark Week series.{{undue-inline|date=September 2014}} The Oklahoma Aquarium receives part of the funding of the 1 cent county sales tax approved in 2005 by voters under Vision 2025.[5] The state legislature has authorized a specialty Oklahoma Aquarium license plate option with some of the fees going to support the facility.[6] References1. ^{{cite book|last1=Cramer|first1=James P.|last2=Yankopolus|first2=Jennifer Evans|title=Almanac of Architecture & Design 2006|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Jh7ecV24_uAC&pg=PA301-IA19|accessdate=20 September 2014|date=2005-11-01|publisher=Greenway Communications|isbn=9780975565421|pages=301–}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.okaquarium.org/about-us/exhibits/|title=Exhibits |author=Oklahoma Aquarium|publisher=Oklahoma Aquarium|accessdate=20 September 2014}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Zullo|first1=Allan|last2=Bovsun|first2=Mara|title=Amazing But True Fishing Tales|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CId_zGHpGpMC&pg=PA249|accessdate=20 September 2014|year=2004|publisher=Andrews McMeel Publishing|isbn=9780740742095|pages=249–}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Luther tackle collector hopes to lure bigger museum|url=http://newsok.com/luther-tackle-collector-hopes-to-lure-bigger-museum/article/3452276|publisher=News OK|accessdate=24 June 2015|date=April 8, 2010}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Federal funding of museums : hearing|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ebx60f4E-6AC&pg=PA40|publisher=DIANE Publishing|isbn=9781422321225|pages=40–}} 6. ^{{cite book|last1=Oklahoma|first1=|last2=Group|first2=West|last3=Company|first3=West Publishing|author4=Lawyers Co-operative Publishing Company|title=Oklahoma statutes annotated|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XOtOAQAAIAAJ|accessdate=20 September 2014|year=2008|publisher=West Group}} }} External links
