A strong relationship
By establishing an emotional connection with the public, Oceanário de Lisboa is Oceano Azul Foundation’s main asset, contributing to inspire behavioural changes, as well as, promoting positive personal relationships with the ocean.
A mission-driven public aquarium with more than 26 million visitors since its inauguration, in 1998, the Oceanário de Lisboa’s educational programmes have engaged more than 1.5 million children, increasing the awareness and involvement of new generations towards ocean conservation.
Oceanário de Lisboa is a member of a large network of international aquariums that develop and fund research and conservation projects increasing knowledge about marine species and ecosystems.
