MISSION VISION VALUES The Fundacion Oceanografic has its main offices at the Oceanografic itself. The marine centre is the institution that provides the infrastructures, personnel and the species to conduct scientific research, and conservation and awareness raising projects on the importance of protecting marine biodiversity. However, the work of the Fundacion Oceanografic extends beyond the borders of the aquarium, operating in many regions of the planet, from the Mediterranean Sea to the freezing waters of Antarctica. Connect society to the marine world and promote the conservation of biodiversity. Be an engine for social transformation that contributes to protecting the oceans. Commitment to animal well-being Environmental, social and economic sustainability Collaboration Passion Commitment Equality Hospitality Since it opened in 2003, it has been envisioned as a homage to the planet's main seas and oceans, and their biodiversity. From the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans to the Mediterranean Sea, to the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans, and the wetland ecosystems. The Oceanografic is much more than just an aquarium, as it is also a research and conservation centre committed to protecting marine life and to imparting environmental education. Actions carried out through the Fundacion Oceanografic. Through educational programmes, and conservation and research projects, the Oceanografic and its Foundation work tirelessly to raise the awareness of its nearly two million annual visitors on the importance of oceans and incorporating sustainable practices to protect them. Its objective is to provide knowledge, undertake direct actions favouring conservation, and inform and raise awareness of society as a whole to ensure the protection of species and their habitat. To this end, the Foundation is upheld by three independent pillars, but which are all interrelated: research, conservation and education-dissemination. Through these three pillars, it currently implements both scientific and conservation activities, as well as programmes to raise the awareness of society, enabling the academic and social worlds to join forces to conserve and protect nature. The management and activity of the Oceanografic and its Foundation have the absolute priority of complying with the highest standards of animal well-being of the living beings under their care, and of the individuals who are part of their research and conservation programmes. Under the motto 'The Sea in Your Hands', the Oceanografic's mission is to educate and inform the greatest number of people possible about the biodiversity of aquatic ecosystems through enriching learning experiences, which are also employed as a tool to raise awareness to encourage respect towards nature. The foundation of the aquarium's activity is to care for our animal family, prioritising their well-being and sustainable management practices. Along with the Fundacion Oceanografic, its raison d'etre is the preservation of our natural heritage, which is brought to life through joint work dedicated to: research, the execution of direct conservation actions, and the dissemination of knowledge, with the aim of adding influencers among society as a whole who promote and encourage the protection of the ocean and its inhabitants. The Oceanografic is not only one of the main Spanish and international tourist destinations, but it also works hard to become a world-renowned research and conservation centre for species. This commitment to protection is clear from the second visitors enter the Oceanografic. Through educational presentations, experiences and awareness raising activities, it wants to involve the public to create awareness and change behaviours towards the sea environment and its inhabitants. The Oceanografic is certified by several globally recognised organisations and is the hub for meetings and congresses of renowned international institutions that work for animal well-being. Further, since 2022 the Oceanografic has been part of the IUCN Spanish Committee as an observer member, taking part in the conservationist strategy of the IUCN in the regions of Europe, Latin America, the Mediterranean and North Africa. This committee coordinates the meeting and debate between diverse organisations involved in conserving biodiversity in Spain, which include NGOs, public administrations, and scientific institutions. The path of the Fundacion Oceanografic is centred on the important role of aquariums as hubs of knowledge, education and conservation. The Oceanografic works to become established as a driving force for new strategies dedicated to creating opportunities and solutions for the protection of the ocean and its inhabitants, and providing its visitors with a unique and enriching experience in knowledge and emotional inspiration. Committed aquariums The Oceanografic and its Foundation as speakers for the oceans How do we do this? 01 Creating knowledge through research These actions translate into a transfer of knowledge to society to create influencers who can help to safeguard natural heritage. 02 Implementing species conservation and ecosystem restoration projects 03 Promoting educational programmes and collaborating with a wide range of organisations to strengthen environmental awareness Scientific research of the marine environment is crucial for understanding and protecting our environment. The goal of scientific research is to conserve aquatic ecosystems, centring both on the species the Oceanografic houses and wild species and ecosystems, with a special emphasis on those classified under any threatened or endangered category that requires greater knowledge for their recovery and protection. Research programmes: 1. Physiology of Marine Vertebrates Studying the adaptations of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems of pulmonate (with lungs) marine vertebrates that let them dive to extreme depths for extended immersion periods. 2. Marine Health Evaluating the causes of mortality and states of health of the wild populations of different marine species in the Mediterranean through the Beaching Network of the Comunitat Valenciana, made up of the Government of Valencia's Regional Ministry of Environment, Water, Infrastructures and Territory, the Universitat de Valencia and the Fundacion Oceanografic. 3. Conservation based research The application of methodologies that enables the exploration of remote ecosystems, monitoring the populations, and compiling information on their behaviour, health status, and physiology of species in the natural environment. 4. Animal Well-being Nourishing and advancing in the Oceanografic's animal well-being strategy and developing innovative tools that allow for monitoring their well-being in nature. 5. Biodiversity and Society Evaluating the positive impact produced by visiting the Oceanografic and participating in educational activities. Conservation programmes: 1. Marine Animal Recovery Centre (ARCA del Mar) Caring for sick or injured marine animals represents one of the main direct-action programmes. The goal is to rescue and recover species and strengthen visitors' connection to them through visits, workshops and courses with the recovering animals that will later be released into the sea. The recovery centre primarily attends to marine animals such as cetaceans, sharks, rays and sea turtles, although other species like coral and seahorses are also included within the recovery programme. 2. Reintroduction and reinforcement Controlled breeding seeks to increase both the number of individuals in declining populations and the survival of new generations after hatching, keeping the babies during their initial stages of life and reintroducing them once they have grown to a size that favours their survival in the wild. This programme centres its efforts on species of populations that are extremely vulnerable, and also contributes knowledge on the development of species during their earliest stages of life. 3. Controlled breeding of local endangered species. Strengthening the wild populations that are extremely vulnerable through the breeding and/or maintenance of the babies during their first months of life to ensure their survival and reintroduce them into the wild environment. 4. Surveillance, monitoring and restoration The different ecosystem and particular areas of interest are evaluated to establish their conservation status to be able to apply the measures required to restore their original balance. 5. Training of professionals and knowledge transmission Knowledge is shared nationally with entities such as the Ministry of Ecological Transition and internationally, collaborating closely with conservation teams in countries such as Pakistan, Colombia, India, and Thailand. Additionally, collaboration is carried out in the creation of stranding networks and recovery centers in places like the Galapagos Islands and Cabo Verde, offering advice and logistical support to strengthen conservation programs. 6. Sustainability The Oceanografic is moving towards sustainability through new programs for breeding species in controlled environments to preserve the future of its biological collections. 7. Generation of a discussion and knowledge forum The main objective is to position the Oceanografic as a driver of change, growth, and expansion of marine conservation actions to facilitate decision-making that leads to a more sustainable marine future. Dissemination programmes: 01 - Environmental volunteer work 02 - Awareness raising actions 03 - Scientific propagation and campaigns 04 - Projects with students and services for vulnerable groups
