Nausicaá, the largest aquarium in Europe, is so much more than just an aquarium. To further its mission to protect the Ocean, Nausicaá has created an endowment fund that essentially supports projects centred on the theme "The Ocean, the Lungs of Mankind".
Nausicaá is the only aquarium in the world to be recognised as a "Centre of Excellence" by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC) for its role in raising public awareness of the need to manage the oceans properly. In addition to offering the public one of the world's finest aquariums, Nausicaá's mission is to contribute to safeguarding mankind by keeping the ocean in good health. The endowment fund is Nausicaá's armed wing to take up this immense challenge, hand in hand with its sponsors!
