During the 17th century, African green monkeys (Chlorocebus sabaeus) were brought to the island of St Kitts, West Indies from Africa and are now considered an evolutionarily separate species. While enjoyed by tourists, their large numbers can cause problems with habitat destruction and possible water contamination.

This tank is located at the Oyster Hatchery, at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, Maryland. The Horn Point oyter hatchery produces over five-hundred million oyster larvae for research, educational projects, and oyster restoration in the Chesapeake Bay and surrounding rivers.
