The project plans, which have been handed to the Atlantic City Council's Planning and Development Committee, will form part of the Atlantic City Aquarium and Historic Gardner's Basin Expansion and Improvement project.
The aquarium is at the centre of the ambitious plans which look to rejuvenate the area in and around Gardner's Basin.
The site of the aquarium is currently owned by the city and is leased by the Atlantic City Historical Waterfront Organization.
Expansion plans include the installation of a new 200,000-gallon tank.
