Becca Miller gives us a glimpse into a day in the life of a penguin keeper as she moves on after two years at the Two Oceans Aquarium.

Join us in welcoming Zelena, a rescued green sea turtle, into our I&J Ocean Exhibit! Zelena was rescued at De Hoop Nature Reserve and brought to the Two Oceans Aquarium on 20 October 2022. She has since undergone rehabilitation with the Turtle Conservation Centre of the Two Oceans Aquarium and was cleared to enter the amazing I&J Ocean Exhibit.

Bob has been absolutely FLYING southward in the warm fast Agulhas Current (and we couldn't resist sharing an early update)!

Bob has been back in the ocean for 19 day (and he is on a high-speed mission)! With the help of an array of high-tech trackers, we've been able to closely follow his journey - here's the latest update from Conservation Manager Talitha Noble.

With the support of AVI, the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation’s Wetlands Outreach Programme visited Grade 6 learners from five specially selected primary schools in the Khayelitsha area. Our team of environmental educators spent each day with a different group of learners, visiting local wetland habitats and teaching the children about the ways the ecosystem (including humans) is interconnected, with special emphasis on the significance and vulnerability of wetland habitats.

Today, most threats facing turtle populations are human-induced, such as plastic pollution, poaching, and entanglement in ghost fishing gear. Thankfully, there is a flip side to the bad news: since turtles are affected by human-induced issues, humans are the ones who can make a positive difference. This is where One Blue Heart comes in.

Stranding season is one of the busiest times of the year for the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation’s Turtle Conservation Centre. Every year, hatchling and adult turtles strand on beaches along the Western Cape coastline. These patients are brought to our Turtle Conservation Centre for rehabilitation. Here’s everything you need to know about stranding season and what you can do to help…

Bob has been back in the ocean for 28 days (and he is on a high-speed mission)! With the help of an array of high-tech trackers, we've been able to closely follow his journey - here's the latest update from Conservation Manager Talitha Noble.

Swift terms and Cape Cormorants have recently begun to inhabit the Waterfront area. However, cause for concern emerged soon after. Why is this, and how do we respond?

The turtles from the Turtle Conservation Centre have inspired us to take a closer look at our impact on the ocean as consumers. The One Blue Heart event aimed to illustrate this point by looking at human consumption; what we eat, how we dispose of the plastic materials used to package our food products, and how we can change the cycle of waste.

While Bob has been swimming along our coastline and making great progress, the Turtle Conservation Centre has been very busy. Claudine van Zyl, Turtle Aquarist and Operations Coordinator, gives an update.

Stranding season brings many stranded and injured turtles to the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation’s Turtle Conservation Centre. Most often, these are little hatchlings that are found by our dedicated Turtle Rescue Network and brought to the Aquarium. But what happens when our team receives a new patient?
