Join us this week for World Oceans Day and help our sea friends!
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 Program, we’re re-wilding zebra sharks back into marine protected areas of Raja Ampat in Indonesia.
We're Seahorse Supporters
Working with the NSWDPI, universities and conservation specialists, we have introduced the world-renowned 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 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.
We're Reef Rescuers
The AZA-Florida Reef Tract Rescue Project (AZA-FRTRP) is a coral rescue and conservation network focused on the rescue, housing and future propagation of Florida corals affected by stony coral tissue loss.
Together, we’re creating a bio-bank of healthy corals to preserve genetic diversity for years to come.
We're Whale Warriors
In partnership with the WDC we’ve created the world’s first Beluga Whale Sanctuary– a proud Guinness World Record holder!
An open water sanctuary that gives whales a safe space to swim, explore and interact freely in their natural environment.
We're Seal Supporters
We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-wild grey seal pups from around our shores who need expert help and a place to stay.
Each year we provide sanctuary to around 70 seal pups who have been stranded on the Cornish Coastline. We successfully release most of our visitors back to the sea after some rest and recuperation, but some require extra special care and a permanent home with us.

Travel into the depths of the ocean to transform trash into your own sea creatures and treasures! With a keen eye for detail, participants will engage in hands-on activities that not only foster creativity but also promote environmental awareness. As you sort through the materials, you'll learn fascinating facts about ocean conservation and the impact of plastic pollution. Once sorted, you'll use the materials to craft unique sea creatures, from playful turtles to majestic jellyfish, all without the need for tape or glue. Instead, you’ll develop fine motor skills by tying knots, threading beads, and lacing strings, turning what was once waste into beautiful, imaginative art pieces.
The SEA LIFE TRUST is dedicated to supporting conservation campaigns on a global scale.
Together, we strive to deliver marine conservation projects where they are needed most. But we can't do this alone: the success of our sanctuaries and conservation projects is only possible thanks to the generosity of our supporters. Please donate today to help us continue our vital work through our sanctuaries and campaigns that protect marine life across the world.
