Sea Life & Marine Sanctuary

Sea Life & Marine Sanctuary in , , | Aquarium

Welcome to Sea Life & Marine Sanctuary in Scarborough North Yorkshire in the United Kingdom, As well as helping millions of people to discover the marvels of the marine world the Sea Life  & Marine Sanctuary network has an important role to play in helping safeguard our seas and their inhabitants for the future.
As well as fostering conservation through enhanced awareness, Sea Life regularly makes a more direct contribution towards conservation and marine animal welfare. In recent years a special programme has been established to manage and develop these activities. That programme is called Save Our Seas,  S.O.S for short.
Aquariums have come a long way since the first  Sea Life & Marine Sanctuary centre opened its doors on the banks of picturesque Loch Creran in the West Highlands of Scotland in 1979.
Sea Life & Marine Sanctuary displays faithfully recreate those habitats, from tide-ravaged rock-pools, beds of eel-grass and sandy shallows to dark rocky sub-marine caves and the icy deep.
Behind the scenes, hi-techâ?? filtration systems labour to keep the water crystal clear. At some centres water is drawn direct from the sea, and carefully filtered before entering the tanks.
Visitors to Scarborough North Yorkshire's Sea Life & Marine Sanctuary were agog, stunned to discover that creatures like the slender pipefish, relative of the seahorse�are abundant in European seas and that the colourful cuckoo wrasse can undergo a sex-change.  They were amazed to see the varieties of rays populating our own marine world, from the sharp-spined thornback to the intricately patterned undulate ray.
