The National Marine Aquarium is the home of the Ocean Conservation Trust. A charity dedicated to restoring and protect the Ocean. Donate below to support both the NMA and OCT. Whether it’s a one-off donation, or a regular one, no donation is too small to make a difference. We can only continue this important work with your help.

More than an Aquarium.

Over the course of 25 years the National Marine Aquarium has helped millions of visitors fall in love with the Ocean. Hundreds of thousands of school children have been inspired and countless memories have been made.

Our work now extends beyond the walls of the aquarium, and is possible thanks to an amazing community of supporters.

The National Marine Aquarium (NMA) is the UK’s largest aquarium, located in Britain’s Ocean City, Plymouth. It is run by the Ocean Conservation Trust, a charity dedicated to connecting people with the Ocean.
