This weekend, Malta’s National Aquarium will host the country’s first Marine Life Fair, a new initiative in collaboration with Eco Market Malta that seeks to raise awareness of the plight of the earth’s oceans

On Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd October, the Malta National Aquarium will open its doors for a series of fun and educational events centred around the important issue of marine health. Held in collaboration with Eco Market Malta and a number of other social enterprises and NGOs, the weekend will feature marine biologists and other experts in marine science, who will present interesting and important information regarding the Mediterranean ecosystem and wider marine environment.

With an action-packed schedule of activities including crafts, book reading, ‘build your own Aquarium’ sessions, snorkelling, dolphin sight-seeing simulations and underwater VR experiences, the Marine Life Fair is a family-friendly event not to be missed!

The weekend will include a Coastal Clean-up on the Saturday morning — featuring a competition with prizes available — as well as musical entertainment and a vast array of purchasable sustainable and vegan foods and cosmetic products.
