Conservation

SEA LIFE Arizona provides permanent homes for injured or disabled aquatic creatures who would have otherwise been killed or put to sleep. In 2012 SEA LIFE Arizona became the home of an endangered green sea turtle named Ziva. Ziva was placed in the Tempe aquarium's 161,000 gallon display where she can happily live the rest of her life. [3] Ziva continues to live her life at SEA LIFE Arizona where guests from all over the world may come and visit her [4]

Protection of Turtles

A fundraising campaign run by SEA LIFE has enabled a new Sea Turtle Rescue and Wildlife Information Centre to be built on the Greek island of Zaykynthos to treat turtles who have been injured in collisions with pleasure craft or entanglement in fishing gear.[5]
