A network at the service of life
The Union of Aquarium Curators, a non-profit organization established in 1987 under the French law of 1901, brings together institutions across France dedicated to disseminating knowledge and preserving aquatic species.
Working with scientific institutions and field professionals, aquariums contribute to a better understanding of ecosystems and their conservation.
Raising awareness and passing on
Public aquariums are places for scientific outreach that are accessible to everyone.
Through educational devices, immersive experiences and educational workshops, they allow people to discover the richness of aquatic environments and to understand current environmental issues.
Conservation programs
Member aquariums participate in coordinated controlled environment breeding programs, particularly for threatened or vulnerable species, with the aim of maintaining viable populations and, where possible, contributing to their reintroduction.
