Welcome to our exciting Sea World website!
This website will introduce you to some of the exiting exhibits and animals that we have waiting for you at Sea World at uShaka Marine World. Latest News:Sea World at uShaka Celebrates Marine Week 2008
October each year is a time for ocean celebration with National Marine Week. With the theme All hands on deck, Sea World at uShaka Marine World in Durban, will excite you about our magnificent oceans. Through innovative display Sea World will ensure that all guests understand that, no matter where you live, your actions affect the oceans, which affect the environment in which you live. “One third of reef building corals reported to be at risk of extinction.” Penguin population declines reflect changes in marine ecosystems.” “Interactions between marine mammals and fisheries are a ‘looming crisis’.” These are recent headlines on the SeaWeb website. So what, you might ask, why should we care about the oceans? Why should I care about the oceans? Most people do not know that their everyday actions can affect the oceans. We need people to understand our role in ocean conservation and encourage everyone to make small daily changes to help our environment. By celebrating Marine Week, we can help by increasing awareness of these issues. SPINNER SHARKS
TWO OCEANS SEALS ARRIVE AT SEA WORLD uSHAKA
All of the new seals are female and are about twelve and a half years old. Their names are Dosy, Daisy, Tee and Mullet and each seal has such a unique personality. Dosy is the largest seal at the moment. She is the dominant seal amongst the four, is extremely confident and usually leads the other seals. She is very brave and is always willing to explore new things. Daisy, with a light caramel colour and a whisker that sticks out on the left side of her face, is a very inquisitive seal and is usually the first to come and investigate what you have brought into the pool area. She loves playing, and really enjoys enrichment activities. She is normally the first seal to figure out how the enrichment toy works. Tee is very enthusiastic when it comes to training sessions, because she learns things very quickly. She takes the part of being the "watch dog" amongst the girls, because she always keeps her eyes on everything that's happening around her. Mullet is a very shy seal and she can be easily recognized as she is the smallest seal with the longest whiskers. Being a shy seal, she takes a little longer than the others in learning new behaviours and therefore takes the role of being the baby in the group (even though they are all the same age). Now that you have an idea of who the four new seals are, we hope that you come and meet them soon. CARING FOR OUR OCEANS Learn more about our oceans
