The National Marine Aquarium
Opened in 1998, the National Marine Aquarium was the first in the UK to be set up solely for the purposes of Education, Conservation and Research. It remains Britain's foremost aquarium attracting visitors from across the UK and internationally. Situated on the Barbican overlooking the magnificent Plymouth Sound, the Aquarium is a must-see on any visit to Plymouth.
As a charity, every penny we make helps us to continue to operate, to fund our innovative learning programme, to participate in international conservation efforts and to support vital research, helping us to succeed in our mission:
To inspire everyone to enjoy, learn and care about our oceans through amazing, memorable experiences.
Working towards our vision of:
A world passionate about our oceans
The National Marine Aquarium is firmly established as a source of reliable and accurate information and is a regular advisor to many newspaper, magazine, radio and television projects - the BBC's 'Blue Planet' Series is perhaps the best known.
With a dedicated educational department the National Marine Aquarium has a reputation for excellence in informal education serving tens of thousands of school children each year.
We are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the changing marine environment and in the nine years since we first opened to the public, the Aquarium has gone from strength to strength; now under new direction we are entering a new phase in our development. We have many exciting projects in the pipeline to revamp the Aquarium for 2008.
The Aquarium experience comprises a total of 50 live exhibits including 3 massive tanks, the largest of which – Britain’s deepest tank – holds 2.5 million litres of water. Over 4000 animals from 400 species are displayed in realistic habitats from local shorelines to coral reefs. In addition our technological zone, Explorocean focuses on ocean exploration and sustainability through innovative, interactive exhibits.
Whilst the visitor experience is very important to us it serves a purpose to fund our other work which is to educate people on marine life, to protect the life contained in our oceans and ensure that they have a sustainable future. Our aim is to lead the debate on our Oceans’ future.
