Join us in our mission
To invite everyone to discover the joy of the ocean, inspiring them to protect its future.
Through immersive experiences and engaging storytelling across our global network of aquariums, and guided by our three conservation pillars: Rescue, Restore, Protect, we commit to safeguarding the ocean in collaboration with our partners, such as the SEA LIFE Trust.

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?
Young Environmentalists
In a team of young environmentalists, children aged between eight and twelve years, the staff of SEA LIFE Constance organizes regular meetings each year where the children can help to achieve something good for the environment. For one year, the children take on the role of ambassadors for the underwater world and carry out special projects for the preservation of the habitat water and its inhabitants. Fun in learning and useful commitment to the underwater world connects the young environmentalists. The program includes, for example, garbage collection campaigns on the shores of Lake Constance or the playful interaction with topics such as the protection of sea turtles or the acute death of reefs.
Blue Bream
The blue bream are a symbol of the biodiversity and culture of Lake Constance. Their population is threatened by invasive species and changing environmental conditions. The fish hatchery on the island of Reichenau is committed to their conservation – from the careful collection of eggs to the release of young fish into the wild. SEA LIFE Konstanz actively supports this commitment through educational programmes, cooperation and care for the sensitive young animals.
Corals
Since 2023, SEA LIFE Konstanz has been supporting the international organisation SECORE International (Sexual Coral Reproduction), which has been active worldwide since 2002. SECORE is a non-profit organisation with locations in the USA, Europe and the Caribbean and works closely with research institutions, aquariums and nature conservation organisations. SECORE's work focuses on the rescue and restoration of endangered coral reefs. Through innovative methods such as the sexual reproduction of corals, the breeding of larvae in specialised breeding facilities and the release of young corals into damaged reef areas, SECORE develops sustainable strategies for the reforestation and long-term protection of these valuable ecosystems.
Antarctic Research Trust
Since May 2018, SEA LIFE Constance has been supporting the Antarctic Research Trust (ART). The ART, founded in 1997, is a registered foundation with headquarters in the Falkland Islands (since 1999), Switzerland (since 2002) and the USA (since 2004). The current project is concerned with studies on the migratory behaviour of Fiordland penguins (New Zealand name: Tawaki) in New Zealand using GLS loggers and satellite telemetry to establish or expand protected areas.
German Ocean Foundation
The German Ocean Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to protecting the oceans. It raises awareness of the threats facing the world's oceans and highlights possible courses of action. To this end, it brings together initiatives and projects from all areas of the maritime economy, politics, research and society to form a powerful voice for our oceans.
Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU)
NABU has been committed to species and nature conservation in Germany for over 100 years. Together with SEA LIFE, projects such as the European pond turtle conservation project have been implemented to protect the European pond turtle, a species native to Germany. This species is on the Red List of Threatened Species. NABU and SEA LIFE are working together to reintroduce the species – with success.
