Vision & mission

“Our vision is to foster love, respect and understanding of our oceans to inspire support for their future well-being. We cannot do this effectively or with credibility if our own operations impact negatively on the environment” – Dr Patrick Garratt, Managing Director

Vision statement

  • promote conservation and sustainable use of the environment, building public awareness and promoting advocacy;

  • build on our uniqueness;

  • be a fun place for the children of today and the children of tomorrow; be a place of learning through discovery.
