San Ignacio pupfish
The Conservation cove inhabits the tiny and nearly extinct San Ignacio pupfish, which is now only found in once small spring out in the nature. We actively participate in the conservation and breeding efforts of these unique little fish to ensure they do not disappear entirely.

Rescue-tank
Did you know that we also have a tank here that is home to rescued and rehomed fish from domestic aquariums? We have provided a new home for, among others, enormous Ripsaw Catfish that have grown too large for their original owners' tanks.

WOW!
Fighting oil spills involves attempts to prevent oil accidents, removal of oil already spilled in the environment or on animals and preventing the larger spread of oil waste. Staff members of SEA LIFE Helsinki have participated in fighting oil spills since 2013.

Four-eyed fish
The conservation cove also inhabits the funny looking four-eyed fish. They actually have only two eyes, but four pupils altogether.
