SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast called on a new generation of Sea Creature Rescue Squad members during the Spring school holidays, with a fun-filled underwater mission designed to uncover the creatures beneath the waves and learn how to give them a helping hand.
From 12 September to 11 October 2026, guests dove into a conservation adventure, with young explorers challenged to complete a series of missions, uncover ocean secrets and discover how small actions can make a big splash when it comes to protecting marine life.
Armed with their very own activity trail, recruits journeyed through five interactive zones, putting their ocean knowledge to the test. They got to know which Shark Survivors needed a helping fin, followed the Turtle Trail to uncover ways to protect these ancient ocean travellers, brought Colourful Coral to life, got to experience a Seahorse Seek and Save mission and crack the clues in Find Five in Freshwater.
The adventure also included an origami station, where budding ocean heroes were able to get creative and fold their own marine-inspired creations while learning more about the incredible creatures they are helping to protect.
Each challenge was designed to make conservation fun, helping young explorers understand some of the real challenges facing marine life while showing them that becoming an ocean hero doesn’t require a cape, just a few good habits and a willingness to make a difference.
No official rescue mission is complete without proof. Families captured their ocean-hero moment with a Rescue Squad photo opportunity, before making their very own pledge to help keep the ocean and its inhabitants safe.
Once the mission was complete, successful recruits officially become Sea Creature Rescue Squad members, receiving their very own Squad Pack, complete with a certificate of completion, an ocean-themed colouring sheet and stickers.
The experience forms part of SEA LIFE’s broader commitment to conservation and education, helping connect millions of guests around the world with marine life and inspiring the next generation of ocean advocates to protect the animals and habitats that need our help.
