Marco's Fish Farm
There's a tilapia fish farm called Marco's Fish farm located on Wegnar Fuik in Curacao. Its in a fairly remote part of the island and not very easy to find. They have some reasonable childrens' programs (a crafts program to make fishing rods and then the kids can fish in a pond and catch lots of tilapia). But there's not much else to look at or do at the place, other than see some above-ground circular tanks containing tilapia (and some koi and other fish). Not worth the drive unless you have small kids that want to do the crafts.
No Sea Snakes in Curacao
I recently was snorkeling in Blue Bay and came across a striped animal that looked very much like a snake swimming along some coral formations. It didn't appear to have any fins and looked like a snake in virtually every way. After doing some research, I was able to identify the animal as a "snake eel" -- which is a harmless animal. Turns out, there are no sea snakes in the Caribbean Sea at all.
