Celebrate All Things Blue with S.E.A. Aquarium’s Ocean Fest! (25 May to 24 June) In celebration of World Oceans Day, S.E.A. Aquarium will launch Ocean Fest! from 25 May to 24 June 2018. The month-long festival aims to raise awareness for ocean conservation through a marketplace showcasing ocean-friendly products, immersive art installations, underwater performances, upcycling workshops, educational challenges and more.

On weekends, guests can explore the aquarium’s first ocean eco-market featuring more than 10 eco- friendly booths, from a great collection of well-designed and reusable home products such as upcycled LED lamps, to organic beauty products free from microplastics that harm the ocean. Organised in partnership with Terra SG – a social enterprise that advocates individuals to make positive environmental change – S.E.A. Aquarium’s eco-market not only highlights marine plastic pollution, it encourages individuals to pick up ocean-friendly, blue habits to sustain our environment.

Guests will come across an art installation, titled “Life in Plastic”, which is made of marine debris such as plastic bottles, nets and other materials that harm ocean life. Young, curious minds can assume the roles of crime scene investigators at the Ocean Lab as they find out what harms marine life, from the plastic trash found in the stomachs of animals to tiny microbeads. This interactive zone will encourage kids to review evidence and identify culprits to solve the cases of animal victims such as the shark and albatross, empowering them to take simple actions such as rejecting the use of plastic straws.

S.E.A. Aquarium’s Ocean Fest! also features a brand-new underwater show titled “Harmony’s Message”, featuring colourful underwater characters, free diving performances and a catchy, original song on how everyone can help keep the oceans healthy. Those passionate about marine conservation can join Guardians of the S.E.A.A. where they can take part in upcycling workshops, meet turtle specialist Mark Hamann in an intimate evening session to learn how technology can advance conservation efforts, and get invited to many exclusive events.
