We just had a fantastic visit to the SEA LIFE centre in Porto, Portugal. We arrived on the seafront in the City and were met by Ana, the Curator of the Aquarium. Ana was lovely and very kindly gave us some time to show Zeina and I around the Aquarium, explain the ideas behind the different displays and how SEA LIFE is promoting conservation. The Aquarium is on a smaller scale than London, but the displays are really well thought out and we enjoyed seeing another SEA LIFE centre getting the conservation message out to the public.
Partnering with the SEA LIFE London Aquarium has been a huge boost for conservation in Fiji. Their sponsorship towards the Moon Reef Marine Protected Area, the first of what we hope will be a series of SEA LIFE sponsored MPAs in Fiji, was a result of an excellent working partnership between SEA LIFE, South Pacific Projects, WDCS International and most importantly, the local community of Dawasamu District. When we return to Fiji we will continue to develop marine conservation initiatives with the support of SEA LIFE London, please keep your eye on the South Pacific Projects website from November this year for updates. Now it's back on the bikes and on the road south to southern Spain before Morocco!
