World-Class Conservation and Wildlife Rescue

In partnership with the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi (EAD), The National Aquarium operates the Wildlife Rescue Program, a dedicated hospital and rehabilitation center for injured native marine life. Here, rescued sea turtles and rare marine species receive critical veterinary care before being reintroduced into their natural Persian Gulf habitats. The aquarium also houses 'Super Snake', a 7-meter reticulated python, alongside puffins, chameleons, and vibrant coral ecosystems.
