Adopt An Animal
S.E.A. Aquarium aims to acquaint children with the majestic oceans and their inhabitants, as well as to explore the interconnectedness between our lives and various aquatic habitats in Singapore. We hope to emphasise the importance of making the right choices in our lives to make Singapore waters a safer and better place for the marine animals. Children can take action by exploring and understanding some possible effects of their daily choices on the marine community and co-create ideas to protect marine animals as part of our community.
Educators can snap photos of the class in session / activities conducted using S.E.A. Aquarium SSDB E-resources and share them with the team via email.
