Coral World is a marine park located in the island of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The museum and park's structure consists of an over-water floor with gift shops, restaurants and exhibitions, and an underwater exhibition where tourists can see fish, sea plants nd other things.
Coral World was inaugurated in the 1970s. It has been one of St. Thomas' most important tourist attractions since then. In the 1990s, world boxing champion Julian Jackson, the third boxer from the Virgin Islands to become a world champion and a big celebrity in St. Thomas, was hired as a worker, to attract more tourists to the site.
On September of 1998, workers at Coral World began to breed seahorses. In 2000, the place was awarded the EPAEnvironmental Quality Award, and on January 10, 2001, the site became the first place in history to perform an underwater wedding using the Sea trekkin technology, when Chritina Peace and John Beck exchanged wedding vows there.
CoralWorld marine parks - two of which include the world's longest underwater acrylic tunnels - are truly in a class of their own.
CoralWorld International, Ltd., a corporation registered in the Isle of Guernsey, was formed in 1988 as the parent company of its operating subsidiaries.
CoralWorld currently has its own plans to open several new and exciting parks, all of which are presently in varying stages of development.
