Young visitors to SEA LIFE Blackpool are being invited to become “ocean heroes” this summer as the attraction launches a new interactive experience aimed at inspiring the next generation of marine conservationists.

The new Sea Creature Rescue Squad adventure will run at SEA LIFE Blackpool from July 4 to August 31, giving families the chance to learn about the challenges facing marine life while taking part in a series of hands-on activities throughout the aquarium.

The experience has been designed to highlight some of the biggest threats facing the world’s oceans, including plastic pollution, habitat loss and the effects of changing sea conditions. Through an engaging activity trail, children will be encouraged to discover how simple everyday actions can help protect marine animals and their habitats.

As members of the Sea Creature Rescue Squad, visitors will complete themed missions around the attraction, uncover fascinating facts about ocean life and learn practical ways to make a positive difference. Those who successfully complete the trail will be able to make their own conservation pledge and receive a special reward.

Along the route, families will come face-to-fin with some of the aquarium’s most popular residents, including sharks, rays and sea turtles, while learning more about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems.
