Sea Creatures

Invite students to become Sea Defenders! They will investigate why it is important to protect our oceans and how their daily actions can impact marine environments. Students will be inspired to make changes in their lifestyle and actively contribute toward solutions.
Habitat Explorers
6th - 8th Grade
Invite students to become Habitat Explorers as they dive deep into the ocean habitats of some of our SEA LIFE creatures!

Invite students to consider a career at SEA LIFE! They will explore the diverse range of job roles within SEA LIFE and the skills required for each of them, considering what it takes to become part of our incredible team and the types of challenges that employees face on a daily basis.
