Who we are

The Ocean Conservation Trust is a global Ocean conservation charity working towards our vision of a healthy Ocean.  Our charity has been running the UK’s largest charitable aquarium for over 20 years. The National Marine Aquarium. Our Aquarium was the first UK aquarium set up specifically to further learning, research and conservation of the marine environment.

Working here feels pretty unique! We employ a talented team who are passionate about conservation, animal welfare, education, engagement and sustainability.

Our brand values flow through everything we do.  They support our mission of “connecting us with our oceans” our belief in ocean optimism and along with the commitment we have to staff wellbeing they help make working here very special.

Our values are: Positivity, Respect, Integrity, Diversity and Engagement.  These values relate to the organisations work and also to us as individual colleagues and how we relate to each other, our customers and our work.
