Seville Aquarium participates in conservation efforts, including breeding programs for endangered species like the Caretta Caretta sea turtle. Chelo, a rescued Caretta caretta, is a star attraction and popular mascot at the aquarium.
The aquarium focuses on both ex-situ (in the facility) and in-situ (in the natural environment) conservation. Ex situ programs involve breeding endangered animals and ensuring their well-being. In situ programs include collaborating with other organizations to protect nesting grounds for sea turtles.
The aquarium participates in public awareness campaigns. They partner with the "Here we save turtles" initiative to educate beachgoers on how to responsibly interact with sea turtles and report sightings.
