Beluga Whale Santuary, a world-first!
From Shanghai to Iceland, this is a ground-breaking project providing formerly captive beluga whales a safe and more natural home.
Rescue, Restore, Protect
Our conservation programme consists of a system of care and best-practise animal husbandry that draws on decades of collective experience from our marine biologists.
Worldwide Beach Cleans
Team up with our passionate staff and join one of our beach cleans, helping to raise awareness about plastic pollution, keeping our beaches clean and...did we mention they´re fun too?
We're Seahorse Saviours
Working with the NSWDPI, universities and conservation specialists, we have introduced the world- renowed Seahorse Hotel Conservation Project. Through this initiative, we're providing a safe environment to seahorses and other wildlife, giving them a place they can call home.
We're Seal Supporters
We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-wild grey seal pups and other marine animals from around our shores who need expert help and a place to stay. Each year we provide sanctuary to around 70 seal pups. We successfully release most of our visitors back to the sea after some rest and recuperation, but some require extra special care and permanent home with us.
We're Safeguarding Zebra Sharks
Together with ReShark, we're working with a global network of public aquariums, researchers, local communications, government and conservation organisations. Through the StAR breeding programme, we're re-wilding zebra sharks back into marine protected areas of Raja Ampat in Indonesia.
We're Treasuring Turtles
Sadly, nearly all species of sea turtle are now classified as endangered. Through our animal rescue centre, we help rescue over 100 turtles across the UK, US Asia and Australia every year. We provide turtles in trouble the rehabilitation help they need to get back on their flippers and into the sea.
