Congratulations to Paul Hale and his team who have set up an exciting new Fiji display at the London Aquarium. The new display will help inform visitors to the Aquarium about the important conservation work being supported by SEA LIFE. In particular the funding they have given to South Pacific Projects to help establish Marine Protected Areas in Fiji. SEA LIFE is one of our sponsors and we are delighted to be working with a pro-active Company who are dedicated to supporting genuine marine conservation and research projects around the globe. Zeina and I were just invited to the Aquarium, along with a group of local schoolchildren who'd been invited to check out the corals, fish and Giant clams. They had gone to a lot of trouble to get hold of some Fijian orchids to weave a beautiful flower-curtain in front of the tank and Zeina was nominated to cut the ribbon to officially open the new display.
A special thanks must go to Paul who has championed this new MPA project from the beginning (and an early Happy Birthday shout out for Sunday Paul if you're reading this!). Also thanks to Toby Forer, General Manager of the London Aquarium who has been so enthusiastic about the work being done in Fiji by us with the local community. We will be announcing a fundraising auction soon with some great items up for grabs, like a beautiful limited edition print of Spinner dolphins, free annual entry for a whole family to the London Aquarium and and amazing two week Spinner dolphin research holiday to Fiji.......
