Sustainable Practices

The Two Oceans Aquarium is a certified Platinum member of the Heritage Environmental Rating Programme. Platinum status is the highest level of achievement in this internationally recognised eco-labelling programme, and indicates that a facility is continually striving to reduce the impact of its operations on the environment and on local communities. The Aquarium is currently one of only three Platinum-status facilities in the Western Cape.

The Two Oceans Aquarium Environmental Charter

The Two Oceans Aquarium aims to raise awareness of environmental issues and promote conservation. We believe that it is imperative that we lead by example, and ensure that we actively strive to reduce the impact of our operations on the environment.

Raising awareness of environmental and social issues among staff and volunteers is paramount. We also participate in initiatives such as the African Penguin Waddle, Earth Hour and International Coastal Cleanup Day.
