  • 1 Vancouver Aquarium's Future Assured Under New Ownership VANCOUVER, April 15, 2021 –– the Future of the Vancouver Aquariu
    Vancouver Aquarium’s Future Assured Under New Ownership VANCOUVER, April 15, 2021 –– The future of the Vancouver Aquarium has been assured with an agreement to transfer its ownership from Ocean Wise Conservation Association to Herschend Enterprises. The agreement ensures that Vancouver will continue to have a world-class aquarium with the financial strength to continue building on its 64-years of success as an animal care and animal rescue facility, a cherished educational venue, and one of BC’s top tourist and event destinations. The agreement is the result of a diligent process initiated by Ocean Wise to save the Aquarium from permanent closure as a result of severe financial challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Herschend has acquired 100% ownership of the Vancouver Aquarium which will continue to be led by Chief Operating Officer, Clint Wright, who has been with the Vancouver Aquarium for more than 30 years. Ocean Wise will remain an independent charitable non-profit ocean conservation organization and an official aquarium partner led by renowned conservationist Lasse Gustavsson. Herschend is a leading US-based attractions and tourism operator, and the owner of two aquariums accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (“AZA”). AZA accreditation represents the highest standard in animal care and welfare while providing a fun, safe, and educational family experience. The focus of Herschend’s aquariums is to inspire families to learn more, care more, and do more for animals and their environments. “This is a very positive outcome that secures both the future of the Vancouver Aquarium and the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre,” said Clint Wright, Chief Operating Officer of the Vancouver Aquarium.

  • 2016 SAFE Annual Report Will Provide Insight Into the Progress Made by All of Us Over the Past Year, As Well As a Sense of the Potential of SAFE
    2016 ANNUAL REPORT From Planning to Action AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction harnesses the collective expertise within our accredited zoos and aquariums and leverages their massive audiences to save critical species. At the same time, SAFE is building capacity to increase direct conservation spending, as well as our members’ impact on saving animals through work in the field, in our zoos and aquariums, and through public engagement. “AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction embodies the collaborative spirit of AZA-accredited aquariums and zoos. I firmly believe SAFE is a game-changer for the zoological community. SAFE is the right thing to do, it is what the public demands of us, and we have now begun to see its potential. We made great strides in 2016, and 2017 will be even better.” Dennis Kelly, Director at the Smithsonian’s National Zoological Park and Conservation Biology Institute 1 2016: The Emerging Potential of SAFE For decades, conservation organizations around the world, including Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)- accredited facilities, have been working to protect animals and habitats. Still, animals that we have the ability to save continue to decline and disappear. With so many species at risk, a new approach to conservation is needed. AZA SAFE: Saving Animals From Extinction was created to do exactly this—to harness the collective power of AZA and its members to lessen species decline around the world in a more impactful way. And to do so strategically— moving from working on many smaller projects to large and coordinated efforts. SAFE takes a long-game approach to conservation, knowing that each year the activities initiated and supported by SAFE will build on those that came before.
