The Tarpon Springs Aquarium and Animal Sanctuary is a privately-owned aquarium located in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The Konger family opened this business on the sponge docks in 1990.[1] It has since passed hands through the family and is now owned and operated by Grant Konger and Paige Konger-Henry. The brother and sister duo have moved the aquarium to a new location where they are constantly expanding and building new exhibits for animal acquisitions and rescues. The new facility opened in 2021.
