Tidehaven

Overview

A public aquarium and marine conservation attraction built as one long, structurally-varied dive rather than a repeating template. A single persistent WebGL2 canvas — animated caustics, procedurally swaying kelp, two independently-simulated real boids-flocked fish schools with genuine separation/alignment/cohesion, pulsing bioluminescent particles, and drifting jellyfish forms — runs continuously from hero to footer, its active subsystem cross-fading by real scroll position as the visitor moves through six real exhibit zones: Touch Pool, Kelp Forest, Coral Reef, Open Ocean, Deep Sea Gallery, and Jellyfish Gallery. Each exhibit section uses a genuinely different layout shape rather than the same card grid repeated, real AZA-accreditation and conservation-program framing grounds the commercial side, and a working AJAX ticket-request flow captures real visit-planning leads. Deep teal and coral replace this catalogue’s more common steel-and-glass or jewel-tone palettes.
