The Aquarium Of Western Australia is the State's premiere marine attraction, a specialised aquarium overlooking the magnificent Indian Ocean on Perths northern coastline. AQWA proudly showcases only native Western Australian marine life from the icy waters of the southern ocean to the far north of the state - over 12,000km of richly diverse coastline. Australia’s largest single aquarium, AQWA’s ‘Shipwreck Coast’, holds three million litres of flowing sea water and hosts the near 100 metre Underwater Tunnel where visitors can journey beneath the sea. Through community and visitor education and engagement AQWA aims to inspire wonder and respect for marine life with a greater understanding and appreciation of our oceans. Funded by AQWA, community donations and sponsorships, The AQWA Foundation, is a registered non-profit environmental organisation, committed to support and undertake projects or initiatives that promote awareness of marine environments, foster change and advocate for positive relationships between people and the sea. The foundation is committed to the ongoing rescue, care, rehabilitation and conservation of sick or injured marine animals funding the construction and ongoing activity of AQWA's turtle rescue and rehabilitation facility.
