in Southern Africa. Today, the aquarium continues to delight and educate
visitors with it's beautiful displays of marine life, and entertaining seal

Whale Deck
The recently constructed whale deck, with binoculars is a great place to view
migrating southern right whales, humped-back whales, and the ever-present
bottle-nose dolphins.
Breeding Colony of Penguins
The East London Aquarium has a very successful breeding program for African
penguins, exported penguin chicks to marine aquariums around the world.
Rehabilitation Pool
Every year hundreds of marine animals, including turtles, seals, dolphins,
penguins, and gannets are injured by fishing nets boats, oil slicks and other
human activities. These animals are brought to the aquarium's marine life
rehabilitation centre where they are treated and eventually released back into
the sea.
Other features at the aquarium include a rare display of Cape Pigmy Clawed
Lobsters, and the newly-built shark tank.
