Breed, Rescue, Protect
Conservation at our core
We are committed to protecting Australia's unique aquatic animals and their habitats.
We established our ethos BREED, RESCUE, PROTECT we have established breeding programs to better understand species, from Undulate Rays to Coral Propagation.
We aim to inspire our visitors to care as much as we do and help raise awareness of the critical importance of our oceans.
After all, we only get one planet!
