What do you do when the public isn't aware of the severity of ocean problems? When you're the Smithsonian you find a new $60 million to build a bigger, louder, more uncut exhibit about the oceans, probably using the same old types of displays. Maybe even call in the Army Corps of Engineers to build something that's guaranteed to work.
The intentions are nice, but wouldn't it be better if they announced they were planning to use the funds to change the demographics and dynamics of ocean conservation rather than just using the same old techniques but bigger?
