Cape Town Creative Academy (CTCA) recently co-designed and co-developed Creatures & Creators in partnership with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation. This cross-disciplinary winter workshop brought together design, science, and storytelling in an inspiring, hands-on learning experience.

The Aquarium is home to a remarkable variety of shark species, many of them found only in South African waters. Today, we’re learning all about gully sharks.  

Behind every magical moment at the Two Oceans Aquarium is an incredible team making it all happen! We recently celebrated the Long Service Awards, honouring some of our amazing staff and volunteers who have reached big milestones in their journey with us. From educating thousands to creating unforgettable memories, they’re the heart of everything we do. Thank you for your passion, dedication, and years of service!

School holidays may be over, but we're still diving into the incredible sharks at the Two Oceans Aquarium – big and small. 

Are you an ocean-loving Grade 9 learner who loves science and thinking outside the box? What if we told you that our Ocean Campus offers a school subject that lets you explore the deep sea, discover how climate change affects coral reefs, and understand how sharks help protect ecosystems, all while working towards your Matric? Marine Sciences is the subject for you - you could be a part of the next class in 2026. 

In the build-up to the 5th annual Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) Day on 1 August, easy-to-read maps of South Africa’s MPAs have been released to help anglers and the public navigate these precious ‘nature reserves of the sea’. This innovative idea was brought to life by Dr Bruce Mann and Dr Ryan Daly, both of whom work at the Oceanographic Research Institute in Durban.

With Marine Protected Areas Day coming up, we’re shining a light on the way that sharks use these protected ocean spaces. 

The Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation has proudly clinched a Silver Award at the 2025 International Tourism Film Festival Africa (ITFFA) for its original documentary By Die Soutwater. The film was honoured in the Wildlife and Conservation (Marine Life) category, standing out among 488 global submissions from 60 countries.

The Two Oceans Aquarium appeals to all motorists to be aware of migrating Western leopard toads on roads, especially at night.

Today, 1 August, we are celebrating the fifth annual Marine Protected Areas (MPA) Day! This special day marks a celebration of our ocean’s most critical conservation spaces. Much like our terrestrial national parks, MPAs are sanctuaries where marine life can thrive, breed, and flourish undisturbed – they are vital not just for biodiversity, but also for our future wellbeing.
