London Sea Life Aquarium
Published: 30th June 2010
The SEA LIFE London Aquarium is home to one of Europe's largest collections of global marine life and the jewel in the crown of the 28 SEA LIFE attractions in the UK and Europe. Situated in the heart of London, the experience takes visitors on an immersive and interactive journey along the Great Oceanic Conveyor.
Conservation:
As well as helping millions of people to discover the marvels of the marine world the SEA LIFE network has an important role to play in helping safeguard our seas and their inhabitants for the future.
As well as fostering conservation through enhanced awareness, SEA LIFE regularly makes a more direct contribution towards conservation and marine animal welfare. In recent years a special programme has been established to manage and develop these activities. That programme is called Save Our Seas – S.O.S for short.
Sea Life centres have supported the Whale & Dolphin Conservation Society this week by sending letters to environment ministers across Europe urging them to block a request from Greenland to be able to slaughter 10 humpback whales.
Greenland is already allowed a quota of minke, fin and bowhead whales for 'subsistence', in other words to support the livelihoods of a small population of native Inuits. Unfortunately their whale hunt is becoming increasingly commercial.

School Trips:
What can a trip below the waves do for your class?
Combining active, hands-on learning with fascinating educational talks and an opportunity to have an up close and personal encounter with a variety of sea creatures, a visit to SEA LIFE is an educational experience like no other.
SEA LIFE caters for every ability level and learning style, using a unique combination of auditory, visual and kinaesthetic learning opportunities, children are encouraged to have supervised, hands-on contact with live sea creatures in the touch pool, something which is the highlight of the trip for many children.
