*!!!! WAAHHH! I'VE HAD THIS PLANNED FOR A WHILE!! IT'S THE CHIMELONG BRANCH!! <3 Following the theme of Major Aquariums having merfolk programs!*

**Excerpt from my master doc:**
*"The Georgia Aquarium is special because it is one of only a few institutes in the world to house merfolk as part of their aquatic programs. Particularly because merfolk are housed in their own wing with specialized glass to dampen and lessen the noise for their sensitive ears. There are a few other aquariums that are a part of this program, namely the Chimelong Ocean Kingdom in Hong Kong, China, the South East Asia Aquarium in Singapore, and more recently, the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California. The Chimelong Ocean Kingdom is highly debated as to its ethical standing on the merfolk it houses due to their social nature and often solitary housing. However, the unique partnership it has with the Georgia Aquarium allows it to operate within certain parameters to keep the merfolk healthy."*
...
*"The Georgia Aquarium established the captive merfolk program in the late nineties after much pushback from both political representatives and the violent history of merfolk/human relations. In history, merfolk and humans rarely saw peace between species. Of course, there were always rare outliers – manatee merfolk extending kindness towards lost sailors, documented treaties of peace between islanders and merfolk, and the rare bonded pair of mer and human. The Chimelong Ocean Kingdom merfolk program is highly disputed by merfolk rights activists given that a lot of the merfolk on display are shown in solitary tanks."*
