Time Limit:

   None

Objectives:

   1. Earn a suitability rating of at least 75 for all West Indian Manatee
      exhibits.
   2. Research the Sea Mammal Rescue program.
   3. Earn a suitability rating of at least 80 for all Beluga exhibits.
   4. Research the Beluga Care program.
   5. Earn a suitability rating of at least 85 for all Manta Ray exhibits.
   6. Research the Oil Exposure program.

      exhibits.
   8. Earn a suitability rating of at least 80 for 6 exhibits.

Walkthrough:

This is a “puzzle” scenario, so don’t worry too much about creating a viable 
zoo.  Just try to meet the objectives as quickly as possible.  To that end, 
first bulldoze everything except the big exhibit tank in the middle of the 
park.  That should net you about $16,000.  Then go to the research tab and 
uncheck everything but “marine recovery” and put it at full funding.  Leave 
conservation at no funding.

Now build a little 4x5 exhibit tank for the West Indian Manatee.  All you have 
to do is put two medium ocean floor rocks in the tank to bring the suitability 
to 75.  So add the rocks and the manatee and wait for the current research 
topic to complete.  When it does, the manatee will disappear and you’ll 
receive a $1000 grant plus a beluga whale.

The beluga whale has a 20 density just like the manatee, so put it in the 
manatee’s old tank.  Since you only used rocks before, the tank should still 
have a 75 suitability rating.  So just add some kelp to raise the suitability 
to 80, and then wait for the research topic to complete again.

Note: You shouldn’t need to hire a marine specialist or attach a filter to the 
tank.  None of the first three animals should stick around long enough to get 
hungry or create a mess.

This time you’ll receive a manta ray and a $2000 grant.  Probably not 
coincidentally, the manta ray also has a density of 20, so pop it into the 4x5 
tank and add a couple fire coral plants to bring the suitability up to about 
85.  Then, once again, wait.

Finally, you’ll receive a humpback whale and a $2500 grant.  The humpback 
whale has a density of 130, and it’s the reason we kept the large exhibit tank 
around.  So put the whale in the tank, and then increase its depth and add 
rocks and seaweed until the suitability hits 90.  You should find yourself 
with about $16,000 left.

Once the last research topic completes, you’ll get a final grant of $20,000 
plus six animals: a hammerhead shark, a harbor porpoise, a narwhal, a grizzly 
bear, a polar bear, and a red kangaroo.  Those are the only animals you’ll 
receive, so just make the smallest possible exhibits for them and get their 
suitability ratings to 80.  The $36,000 you have now should be more than 
enough to purchase the necessary exhibits, especially since you can bulldoze 
the humpback whale tank (worth about $9000) and put the hammerhead shark into 
the existing 4x5 tank without modification.  If you’re quick enough, you might 
even be able to complete the scenario without having to hire any staff.
