Conservation
At Sydney Aquarium, we are committed to protecting Australia's unique aquatic animals and their habitats.
To ensure a more secure future for our aquatic species, Sydney Aquarium has established the Sydney Aquarium Conservation Fund (SACF), an independent, non-profit organisation dedicated to conserving and protecting Australia's aquatic wildlife.
SACF is a Registered Environmental Organisation. All donations to SACF over $2 are tax deductible and money raised goes directly to a range of research projects. Read more about our current projects on the Sydney Aquarium Conservation Fund project website.
Conservation
SACF is dedicated to conserving the marine environment by funding reseach and educational projects that will help protect and restore threatened species and habitats. Protecting and conserving our coasts is critical for future generations to enjoy the full range of species and marine environments.
Research
SACF supports and assists government, industry and tertiary institutions gather information and raise community awareness of the marine environment. SACF is currently supporting research carried out by Department of Primary Industries (Fisheries), Department of Environment and Climate Change 9DECC), Sydney University, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), University of New South Wales (UNSW), university of Newcastle and Sydney Institue of Marine Science (SIMS).
Education
Raising community awareness of our local marine ecosystems and the threats to them is an integral part of SACF. Through a range of activities and programmes we hope to inspire the community to learn more about our precious coast and its inhabitants, and what can be done to conserve them. SACF raises money through fundraising activities and sponsorship arrangements to fund and support scientific and educational projects that have applied conservation outcomes aimed at conserving, protecting, restoring or fostering sustainable use of Australian aquatic species, habitats and resources.
Adopt an Animal
If you're after a unique gift with a difference, and you'd like to contribute to SACF, soon you'll be able to Adopt an Animal here at Sydney Aquarium.
Adopting an animal at Sydney Aquarium costs just $50 and every cent of your donation goes towards our aquatic conservation projects, making it the perfect way to support a charity whilst also getting something back!
