Join our Rocky Shore Explore on 2 August 2025!

In celebration of MPA Day, we're excited to announce that the Two Oceans Aquarium family will be venturing along the stunning natural shoreline of Dalebrook Tidal Pool on Saturday, 2 August 2025, for a family-friendly Rocky Shore Explore.

We'd love for you to join us!

A Rocky Shore Explore is a wonderful opportunity for families and loved ones to adventure through rock pools and discover some of the incredible animals and plant life that inhabit our diverse coastline. The idea is that families explore these rock pools together, using provided information to learn to identify the sea stars, anemones, seaweeds, and other organisms they see. Located within the Table Mountain National Park MPA, Dalebrook Tidal Pool is sure to delight explorers of all ages!

The Two Oceans Aquarium, together with educators from our Ocean Campus, will join in to answer questions and help identify anything you find. Young or old, there's something for everyone to discover on the shores of this special MPA.

Marine Protected Areas Day

Every August, we celebrate Marine Protected Area (MPA) Day - a global event dedicated to the underwater sanctuaries that safeguard our ocean's most precious treasures! Imagine a day when everyone, from coastal communities to conservation scientists, joins forces to champion these vital ocean lifelines. Why? These special areas provide safe havens for marine species to thrive, help restore damaged ecosystems, and ensure that future generations can marvel at the incredible diversity of life beneath the waves.

So, let’s get together and explore in celebration of our magnificent MPAs. Not to mention that all attendees stand a chance to win some cool prizes!
