Sažetak
Dubrovnik aquarium was founded in 1953 as part of the Institute. In 2020 Institute for Marine and Coastal Research as Lead partner started the reconstruction of Dubrovnik aquarium as part of the EU project. The aquarium is designed as public aquarium and conservation center. Its mission is to promote global sustainability through the promotion and practice of effective conservation of the wildlife of the Adriatic Sea. Aquariums Dubrovnik provides fun-filled leisure and entertainment activities that double-up as centers for animal rescue, care and rehabilitation, scientific research, education and conservation. Aquariums contribute to ocean conservation in a variety of ways including but not limited to marine animal rescue and rehabilitation, coral reef rebuilding, wetland restoration, sustainable seafood programs, beach clean-up events, and sea turtle monitoring. Aquarium Dubrovnik became a sanctuary for sea turtle rescue, rehabilitation, and release more than 20 years ago, and has been telling their stories ever since. The turtle program is our cornerstone conservation program, calling attention to critical issues impacting wildlife and people, including climate change and plastic pollution.
