The Florida Aquarium had a literal seat at the table recently when the U.S. and Cuba met in Havana to work out details of mutual environmental protection. It’s part of the new normal between the two countries. And a reminder of what an asset the aquarium has become.
It’s also recognition that this state, this city and this city’s aquarium share enlightened self-interest with Cuba. It’s also an ironic reminder that City Hall is still no help.
