These Boots, in Bermuda.: Day 5 - Part 1: Flatts Inlet & Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo

Flatts Inlet is a narrow channel which connects Harrington Sound with the Atlantic Ocean. It lies almost exactly halfway between Hamilton and St. George's.

Harrington Sound is open to the sea only at this inlet, at its south westernmost point. Although much of the Sound's water flows through subterranean channels, the water in the inlet is fast moving as the tide ebbs and flows.

Flatts Bridge crosses the inlet, and the small settlement of Flatts Village is located on its south bank. The Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (BAMZ) is located on its north bank.

Bermuda Aquarium Museum and Zoo (BAMZ) was founded in 1926 and is one of the world's oldest aquariums. The 7 acre facility is a top attraction for all ages and an important centre for science education, research and species conservation. BAMZ has been accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums since 1994.

The Aquarium showcases more than 200 species of fish and delicate marine invertebrates from Bermuda's shallow coastal waters, northern coral reefs, and the deep ocean. The spectacular 140,000-gallon North Rock Exhibit showcases live corals and large predatory fish, including sharks and a black grouper. Exhibits housing marine turtles—some of them rescued after injury—and harbour seals are two other very popular areas and provide for captive management and research initiatives.
