The Seaquarium
With over 2,400 square metres dedicated to marine life, the Seaquarium immerses us in a fascinating world. A major player in efforts to preserve, research and improve knowledge of the seabed for 30 years, it has become an essential stop during any visit to Le Grau-du-Roi.
Explore different worlds
The aquarium has numerous tanks housing more than 2,000 fish from the Mediterranean and the tropics, as well as more than 25 species of impressive sharks, playful seals and sea lions, sea turtles, and more. The different worlds of the Seaquarium, organised into interactive trails, have all been designed to enable visitors to learn and enrich their knowledge while having fun and becoming true actors in the protection of the marine world.
An interactive journey divided into different worlds:
The Mediterranean Area,
The Tropical Area,
The Underwater Tunnel,
The ‘Turtle Museum’ Room,
The Marine Mammals Area,
The Imaginarium,
The Sharkarium (the only area in Europe dedicated to sharks)
Learning, educating and passing on knowledge: a priority
A ‘sanctuary of the sea’, the Seaquarium aims to teach humans a new relationship with animals. Because we can only save endangered species by getting to know them better. Guided tours, activities, school visits and awareness-raising initiatives in partnership with all the private beaches along the Languedoc coastline are testament to this ambition.
To take this approach even further, in 2017, the Seaquarium created its Marine Institute for Mediterranean Ecosystems. This is an association whose mission is to carry out various large-scale actions dedicated to the preservation and promotion of marine and lagoon environments and species in the Mediterranean.
For 30 years, the Seaquarium has been working in a responsible and educational spirit so that, at the end of their visit, young and old alike will have a new perspective on the sea, our common heritage, and will participate in saving this true masterpiece in peril. It is in this spirit that the Seaquarium has been innovating for years.
