Thank you to our turtle community!
As many of our Aquarium and Foundation family know, April saw an unprecedented number of stranded turtle hatchlings arriving at the Turtle Conservation Centre. Our team was working around the clock to care for over 500 loggerhead hatchlings, but we couldn't have done it without our turtle community. We would like to take this opportunity to thank a few of the incredible ocean champions who have helped us in our efforts to rescue and care for these precious turtles.
Volunteer at the Two Oceans Aquarium!
Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to announce that applications are open for new Two Oceans Aquarium volunteers - you just need to complete a short training programme!
Our volunteers are people who love the ocean and offer up some of their free time to help us spread the love of the ocean and its inhabitants. You don't need any prior experience or qualifications to become a volunteer, so this is the perfect opportunity for people who want a taste of what their future career in marine science may hold or those who simply want a hobby that keeps them in touch with the ocean. Young or old - all are welcome.
